======================================================
Chakravyuh is an Indian board game developed in parallel with Chess.

It is a two player game. Either mutual agreement or flipping a coin may decide who moves first.

( If you are playing with mobile or tab etc, the mobile will move a piece first, and then you will)

Each player has 16 pieces, including King.
Each player has its own King ( symbol of king is Crown).

Both king can not move unlike its all pieces. King’s position is fixed.

The winner is one who captures king of opponent player.

Each piece (except King) moves only one step in any direction along line i.e. forward, backward and diagonally whenever vacant position available around the piece.
A piece hops over opponent's piece and hence capture that piece.
You can chain several hops in single step.
It is not mandatory to capture all pieces in case of getting opportunity of multiple capturing.



Moving Rules-

Touch the piece which you want to move (a green ring appears around that piece).

All the valid vacant positions turn into green dot where that piece can move. Now touch any one green dot and the selected piece appears there.
