The Game
The game is played in turns, alternating between the two players. On each turn the player must move a piece or attack an opposing piece.

No piece can move diagonally, jump over other pieces, or move to a space occupied by another piece.
It is not allowed to jump over the lakes, or move inside it.
The pieces move one at a time.
The Explorer can walk as many free cells as he wants, horizontally or vertically. He can also walk and attack in the same turn.

Attacking Rules
When one of your pieces and one of your opponent's pieces are stuck, horizontally or vertically, it means they are in attack position.
The piece with the lower rank is captured and removed from the board.
If the victorious piece was the attacker, then it moves to the position of the captured piece. If the victorious piece was the attacked one, it stays in the position it is in.
When two pieces of the same rank attack each other, both are removed from the board
The attack is always optional.
