This game has been documented by Jatindra Mohan Datta in the streets of Ultadanga, Kolkata. The people who knew about the game were inhabitants from Jaunpur, Uttar Pradesh and they stated it used to be played in their village as well. It is a two player game.
One player occupies the points marked with X’s with his 40 pieces —tiny bits of coal as their pieces; his opponent places his 40 pieces —tiny bits of potsherd at the points enclosed by O's. The pieces move one place at a time either vertically or horizontally, if it is vacant: and they capture the opponent's pieces by jumping over the same in a straight line to a vacant point opposite. Successive captures are allowed. The winner is to capture all the pieces of his opponent. - Rules (dcterms:instructionalMethod)

9x9 intersecting lines forming a square. Forty pieces per player, lined up on the intersections on the rows closest to them, and the right half of the central line. Players alternate turns moving pieces to an empty adjacent spot along the lines. A piece may capture an opponent's piece by hopping over it to the empty spot immediately on the opposite side of it, following the lines of the board. Multiple captures are allowed. The player who captures all of the opponent's pieces wins.
