=== Capture ===
In the ''capture'' variant, all sixty game pieces start out in the [[hexagon]]al field in the center of the gameboard. The center position is left unoccupied, so pieces form a symmetric hexagonal pattern. Color is irrelevant in this variant, so players take turns hopping any game piece over any other eligible game piece(s) on the board. The hopped-over pieces are captured (retired from the game, as in [[English draughts]]) and collected in the capturing player's bin. Only jumping moves are allowed; the game ends when no further jumps are possible. The player with the most captured pieces is the winner.

The board is tightly packed at the start of the game. As more pieces are captured, the board frees up, often allowing multiple captures to take place in a single move.

Two or more players can compete in this variant, but if there are more than six players, not everyone will get a fair turn.

This variant resembles the game [[Leap Frog (board game)|Leap Frog]].<ref>{{bgg|35722|Leapfrog}}</ref> The main difference being that in Leap Frog, the board is a square board.
