How do you play kudlong?

Kudlong or Chinese Checker is played on a six-pointed star-shaped board with pegs or marbles. Each player has their own set of 10 pegs or marbles which are placed at one point of the star.

At the start of the game, each player rolls a die and the player with the highest roll goes first.

On their turn, a player moves one peg or marble from their starting point to an adjacent spot or one of the six other points on the star.

A player can also move their peg or marble over another peg or marble, provided there is an empty space immediately beyond the peg or marble being jumped.

If a player jumps over another peg or marble, they can continue to jump over more pegs or marbles in the same turn, so long as there are empty spaces beyond each peg or marble being jumped.

The first player to move all 10 of their pegs or marbles to the opposite point on the star wins the game.

Rules for Kudlong:

The board is divided into six triangles.

Each player can move their own pieces that are in their respective triangles at the start of the game.

The main objective is to move all of the player's pieces from one triangle to the opposite triangle.

Only one piece can move at a time, and the piece must move towards the opposite triangle.

A piece can move to a hole that is either empty or occupied by an opponent's piece.

A piece can jump over an opponent's piece to an empty hole if the hole on the opposite side of the opponent's piece is also empty.

If there are multiple options for capturing, the player must choose the option that results in the most captures.

The first player to move all of the pieces to the opposite triangle wins the game.
