2 Players Breakthru is an abstract strategy game. The gold fleet is set up in the central part of the board and the silver fleet in the outer part. The object of the game is for the gold player to get their flagship off the board before it is captured by the silver player. Ships may move any number of vacant squares either horizontally or vertically.
Ships capture by moving one square diagonally.
Two motion moves or one capture move is allowed on a player's turn. If the gold player manages to get the flagship to the outermost squares of the board they are the winner. The silver player wins by capturing the gold flagship. This is an interesting game with elements of both chess and Fox and Hounds. The naval fleet metaphor is really meaningless in the context of the game.
