The game is played by 2 players, each starting with four sergeants on their first rank. They set up their army of pawns on the second and third ranks, with choices of the regular pawn, berolina, stone general, and soldier. On their turn, each player can only see the pieces and the squares they can move to. The first player to get a pawn (of any type) to the opposite side, capture all of their opponent's pawns, or leave their opponent with no legal moves wins. There are no draws, there is no way to stall the game indefinitely, there is much strategy involved, and almost every game is guaranteed to be interesting.

Also it becomes very boring, but shuffling is hard with pawns so ig the usual fow problem isn’t really here (shuffling due to large amount of good defensive pieces)

Too sluggish ig, shrink the board
