Moves like a chess king during turn. Each player's pieces should either be a different color or style than those of the other players. During first four turns, players alternate placing one of their remaining pieces on the board. Players will have extra pieces when they are done. These pieces are used later for pawn promotion.
Players place their pieces in a vacant space.
The number on the space represents which space the player can put their pieces on. Player 1 puts their pieces on A8, B8, A7, B7. Player 2, in 2 player game, puts their pieces on G2, H2, G1, H1. In 4 player game, player 2 puts their pieces on G8, H8, G7, H7. Player 3 puts their pieces on A2, B2, A1, B1.
