4. Multiple captures allowed within a single turn providing continuous movement along the path of capture.
5. The center point remains empty at the game's commencement, offering strategic movement opportunities.
6. Gameplay alternates between players, each planning to decimate opponent's pieces or immobilize them to foreclose any potential moves.
