How to Play 1 Vs. 1(Yellow vs. Blue; Green vs. Red)

Movement
-Pieces can only move one space forward (in the direction away from the point of origin).
-When a piece is directly in front of the moving piece, then the moving piece is allowed to jump over it under the following conditions:
     -Pieces of the same color can jump over each other simply for movement.
     -Pieces of a color can jump over opposing pieces to replace them with player's corresponding color.
     -Pieces of one color on the board cannot jump into a space of the same color as the piece. The multi-color hexagon in the center of the      board is a dead zone in which no one may enter
Goal
     -To win, the player must be the first to reach the opposite side with 3 of their game pieces. When the game pieces reaches the opposing players side, it is removed from play and is counted as one point.


2 vs. 2 (Yellow and Red vs. Blue and Green)

     -Movement and Goal are the same as the 1 vs 1 game.
     -The corresponding colors try to work together to have both teammates reach the other side with 3 of their pieces.
     -Teams can work as a group, allowing each other to use their pieces as movement. In other words, a yellow piece can jump over a red piece, allowing it to act as they were jumping their own piece.
     -Both teammates can only win when both players have 3 of their pieces in the opposing base.
