Magnetic Thermopylae

In this two person strategy game, players pass and capture pieces as in chess. The board is made up of connected lines and each starting (reserve) area is a triangle area on opposite sides of the board.

Each player has nine pieces and they are placed in their starting area. Each piece can only move along in a straight line, as far as desired. Pieces must jump over and capture if they are able. Corners can be used as pivots in multiple jumps.

Once players leave their reserve area, they cannot move back to it.

The game ends when a player has captured all of their opponent's pieces or maintains undisputed control of the pass. If both players are down to one piece, whoever arrives at the center point first wins.
