How to play

Win by walking your Don off the edge of the board from ring 6, or by being the last Don left.
Don: one step in any direction. It can step into and out of the safe house in the centre.
Henchmen: slide any distance in one straight line (along a ring or a sector). No jumping, no turning, no diagonal moves, except to capture.
Safe house: only Dons stop there. A henchman may pass straight through it to the opposite sector, but only if no Don is inside.
Capture by stepping one cell diagonally onto an enemy. It's optional. Capture a Don and that player is out.
Dangerous streets: a Don can't capture in or into rings 5 and 6. It can still be captured there.
Backup: when a capture leaves a player with exactly 2 henchmen, they earn 2 more to place on any empty cells on a later turn.
Moving is mandatory. The first move of the game can't be a capture. If you have no legal move at the start of your turn, you're eliminated.
Talk: deals and betrayal are part of the game. Use the chat to make a pact, then decide whether to keep it.
