The standard Hoyle; a complete guide and reliable authority upon all games of chance or skill now played in the United States, whether of native or foreign introduction . oard isoccupied by the twelve black men, and the lower half by their antag:ci-nists, the white. The men being placed, the game is begun by each player moving al-ternately one of his men, along the white diagonal on which they are firstposted. The men can only move forward, either to the right or left, onesquare at a time, unless they have attained one of the four squares on theextreme line of the board, on which they become kings, and can moveeither forward or backward, but still only one square at a time. Themen take in the direction they move, by leaping over any hostile piece orpieces that may be immediately contiguous, provided there be a vacantwhite square behind them. The piece or pieces so taken are then re-moved from off the board, and the man taking them is placed on thesquare beyond. If several pieces, on forward diagonals, should be ex-posed by alternately having open squares behind them, they may all betaken at one capture, and the taking piece is then placed on the square.
