- Rules (dcterms:instructionalMethod)
- It is played by six ballets or pieces, three belonging to each type. Hence, two types of ballets are required for playing it. At the beginning of the game three ballets of each type are placed in the cross points marked X and O and the central cross-point marked P is kept vacant. then one of the two ballets belonging to two different types and which are nearest to the central vacant cross-point marked P is shifted to this vacant cross-point. In the movement one ballet belonging to one type is shifted to a cross-point by jumping over a cross-point occupied by one ballet of another type or may occupy the next cross-point if it is vacant. Ballets of two different types are alternately shifted. The whole idea of playing this game is to shift the ballets originally placed in the cross-points marked X to the cross points marked O and also the ballets originally placed in the cross-points marked O to the cross-points marked X . In this way the player who can shift three ballets of one type originally placed in the cross-points marked X to the cross-points marked O and vice versa wins the game.
