Felli from Morocco

Felli is a two-player abstract strategy board game from Morocco.

Goal:

The goal of each player is to capture all the other player’s pieces, or stalemate the other player by immobilizing its pieces.

Rules:

1. Players decide what colors to play, and who starts first. In the beginning, each player’s six pieces are set up on their respective triangle. The only vacant point is the common vertex which is also the middle point of the board.
2. A piece is moved one space (in any direction) per turn onto a vacant point following the pattern on the board.
3. A piece captures an enemy piece by the short leap as in draughts. The player’s piece must be adjacent to the enemy piece, leap over it, and land onto a vacant point on the other side. The leap must be in a straight line and follow the pattern on the board. Captured pieces are removed from the board.
4. Only one piece may be used to move or capture per turn. Players alternate their turns throughout the game.
