Turkish Draughts is a two-player capturing game on an 8x8 board where you try to capture or block all of your opponent's pieces. Each side starts with sixteen men placed on the second and third rows. Men move one square straight forward or sideways — never diagonally — and capture by jumping straight over an adjacent enemy piece to the empty square beyond. Capturing is compulsory, and you must take the maximum number of pieces available. A man that reaches the far row becomes a king, called a dama, which can glide and capture across many squares. You win by taking or trapping every enemy piece.
