할마 배우기: 규칙

Halma is the predecessor to Chinese Checkers, invented in Victorian England around 1880. It's played on a 16x16 checkered board where players race their pieces from one corner to the opposite corner using steps or jumps.

On a 16x16 board, each player has 19 pieces arranged in a corner camp (a 5x5 triangle pattern). For 2 players, use diagonally opposite corners. For 4 players, each takes a corner.

1. 01Players take turns moving one piece.
2. 02A piece may step to any adjacent square (including diagonally) that is empty.
3. 03A piece may jump over an adjacent piece (yours or opponent's) to the empty square beyond.
4. 04Multiple jumps can be chained in a single turn.
5. 05Jumped pieces are not captured; they remain in play.
6. 06No backward restrictions - pieces can move in any direction.
7. 07You cannot block opponents from entering their destination camp.

First player to completely occupy the opposite corner camp wins. All 19 pieces must be positioned in the target area.

Halma was invented by American surgeon George Howard Monks around 1883-1884, named after the Greek word for 'jump.' It was a popular Victorian parlor game and inspired Chinese Checkers (Stern-Halma) in 1892.
