How to play

ClearanceClear the cross to one pawn

Pawns stand on a cross of thirty-three squares. A pawn jumps a neighbour, along a rank or a file, into the empty square beyond, and the pawn it jumped is taken. Keep jumping until one pawn stands. Leave it on the centre and it is crowned.

RulesWhat counts, what ends it

A jump needs a pawn next door and an empty square on the board beyond it. No diagonals.
Stuck with more than one pawn and no jump left, the level is lost; undo as far as you like, or redeal.
A hint shows the next jump of a line that clears the board. It is free and it is counted.
The army grows two pawns a level, five to the classic thirty-two with the centre empty.
