More about this game

A.C.U DRAUGHT: THE ROYAL is a classic strategy board game where you aim to capture or block all opposing ebony pieces using your gold pieces. You can play against the computer, challenge a local friend on one device, or compete in a four-round championship mode to earn trophies. Difficulty scales by choosing between Beginner, Warrior, King, and Legend computer opponents. A match ends when one side loses all pieces, cannot make a legal move, or if a draw triggers after 3 repetitions or up to 80 quiet moves.

Tips

In English rules on the 8x8 board, men only move and capture forward, while kings can move and capture in both directions.
In Brazilian and International rules, men can capture backwards, and kings can fly diagonally across empty squares to capture distant pieces.
When multiple captures are available in Brazilian or International rules, the game forces you to choose the path that takes the largest number of pieces.

Questions

How do I win the game?

You win by capturing all of your opponent's ebony pieces, or by blocking them so they cannot make any legal moves on their turn.

What happens if a game gets stuck?

The match automatically ends in a draw if the exact same board position repeats three times, or if no captures occur for 30 to 80 moves depending on the ruleset.

How do I get a king?

A piece becomes a king when it reaches the farthest row on the opponent's side of the board. In English rules, crowning immediately ends your turn.
