3. How the ball moves (see Figure 03)
The team that has sole possession of the ball is on Offense. To play the ball you
roll the die. The ball moves according to the full amount of the roll. The ball can
move straight or diagonally in any direction. The directions can be combined (the
ball may move straight and diagonally in one move) but you can only change
directions once in the same move.
The ball cannot go back to a row or column that it has passed during that move.
The ball can pass over squares which have pawns of either team on them.
Each move has a time limit of 60 seconds from when the die is rolled (see ‘Time
Limits’, rule 11)
4. The Normal Play of the Game
O-Team: the team on Offense
D-Team: the team on Defense

O-Team.)
The O-Team moves first.
