Four Field Kono Game
2 players. 8 years +
Goal
The goal of each player is to capture the other player's pieces and reduce it to one. This is because with only one piece, a player can no longer execute a capture. Another way to win is for a player to immobilize the other player's pieces so that they cannot move or capture.
Equipment
The board is a 4×4 hole board. There are 16 pegs total of which 8 are green and 8 are natural.
Gameplay
The game is played according to these rules.
- Players decide what color pegs to play, and who goes first.
- The board is completely filled with the 16 pegs in the beginning. Each player's pegs are set up on their half of the board.
- Since the board is filled up in the beginning and hence no vacant holes, the first move by the first player will be a capturing move.
- A capturing move requires a player's marble to jump over one of his own adjacent marbles orthogonally (not diagonally), and to land onto an enemy marble which is then removed from the board and replaced with the player's marble. Only one peg can be used to capture or move per turn. Multiple captures are not allowed. Once a peg has captured one enemy peg, the turn is completed. Captures are not compulsory.
- A marble can move orthogonally (not diagonally) one space per turn onto a vacant hole.
- Players alternate their turns throughout the game.
