Qirkat

Welcome to qirkat, also known as alquerque. You've joined a long – albeit long interrupted – tradition of qirkat aficionados.

Summary of rules

• Whichever player runs out of moves (or pieces) first, loses.
• You can only move forward or sideways onto a free point.
• You can't move a piece back to a point it's already occupied.
• But you can jump over your opponent's pieces in any direction.
• In fact, you have to jump if you can.
• Multiple jumps are possible.
• That's it!
