How to play
- 01
Chessboard
The board is missing the right side of the 'district' character, with five intersection points. The right side is a well, and that side can't be moved.
- 02
Start
Four bulls stand randomly at five points, leaving one point empty. Two yellow oxes, two black oxen heads. The first side can't smother the other in a single step.
- 03
Move
Take turns. Each time, take your own cow along the line to a nearby empty spot. No jumping; only one cow stands at each point.
- 04
First to enter
You can choose whether to take the yellow ox or the ink ox, or choose which side to go first. Difficulty levels include easy, normal, hard, and extremely hard.
These rules match the version played on this site.
