Captured pieces become yours to drop
Anything you capture joins your side and can be dropped back onto an empty square later. Positions never simplify.
How it plays
- 1
Captured pieces go to your reserve and switch to your color.
- 2
Instead of moving, you may drop a reserve piece onto any empty square.
- 3
Pawns may not be dropped on the first or eighth rank.
- 4
Your reserve is displayed on the board's edge.
What the lights do
Your reserve is listed along the side rank, and legal drop squares light up when you hold a spare piece.
What you need
- One board
- Spare pieces
