Long jumps across the star
Each player starts with ten marbles in one point of the star. The goal is to move all of them into the opposite point. On your turn, either move one marble to a neighbouring empty hole, or jump over a single neighbouring marble (yours or anyone’s) into the empty hole directly behind it – and keep jumping as long as you can.
Long chains of jumps are the key: build “ladders” of marbles that carry you across the board in one turn. Play against computer opponents or pass the device around with 2, 3, 4 or 6 players.
How to use
- Tap one of your marbles (yours are at the bottom).
- Green dots show every place it can reach – including jump chains.
- Tap a green dot to move.
- Get all ten marbles into the opposite point first.
Ideas for using it
- Tip. move back marbles forward so none are left behind.
- Tip. use your opponents’ marbles as stepping stones.
- Family. 3 or 4 players around one tablet.
- Quick duel. 2 players, straight across the board.
