Damasi Rules

Played on an 8×8 board, Damasi starts with 16 men positioned on each side across two rows, leaving the back row empty. Men can move forward or sideways one square and capture by jumping over an opponent's piece, but they cannot move backwards. When a man reaches the back row, it is promoted to a king, which can then move any number of squares in any direction—forward, backward, or sideways—capturing by jumping over any piece and landing beyond it.

Captured pieces are removed immediately after being jumped. If a jump is possible, it must be made, and if multiple jumps are available, the player must choose the sequence that captures the most pieces. There's no distinction between kings and men during captures; each piece counts as one. If multiple sequences capture the same maximum number of pieces, the player may choose their preferred sequence.

The game concludes when a player has no valid moves left, either because all their pieces have been captured or they are completely blocked, resulting in a win for the opponent. A unique aspect of Damasi is that, due to immediate removal of captured pieces, it's possible to cross the same square multiple times in a single capturing sequence. However, within a multi-capture, turning 180 degrees between two captures is not allowed.
