Gameplay

Movement

Players alternate turns. Pieces move one space at a time along lines, or multiple spaces on Railroads.

Attacking

When a piece attacks an opponent's piece, the ranks are compared. Higher rank captures lower rank. Equal ranks destroy both pieces.

Special Rules

Bomb: Bombs destroy any piece they attack or are attacked by, and are removed from the board.
Land Mine: Landmines destroy any piece that attacks them, except Engineers. Engineers capture Landmines.
Miner: Engineers can turn corners on the railroad.
