Board of dimensions odd x odd are disallowed. For example, a 11 x 12 board will contain 66 white tokens and 66 black tokens. Each player is randomly associated with a colour at the beginning of a game. In Konane, players alternate making moves, with white beginning first. The opponent's token is then removed from the board.
Every valid move consists of at least one jump.
All tokens that have been jumped over are removed from the board. The first player to run out of valid moves loses. This may mean that a player has lost all his tokens, or that the tokens are positioned so no valid move is possible. In this competition, players will also be allotted a certain time to finish the game. A player who runs out of time before his opponent does loses as well.
