How Bakwi-gonu works
  • Each player starts with 4 pieces clustered at their own corner of a 4x4-point board.
  • On a normal turn, move one piece a single step along a line.
  • The four corners are "wheels" — a piece standing on one may instead spin and slide any distance in a straight line.
  • A wheel slide that runs into an enemy piece captures it and stops there. That's the only way to capture in this game — a plain step never does.
  • Win by capturing every one of your opponent's pieces, or leaving them with no legal move.
  • If 40 moves in a row (both sides counted) pass with no capture, the game is a draw.
The best-documented new addition

Unlike several other variants added alongside it, Bakwi-gonu's rules are confirmed by two independent sources — the wheel-slide capture is the real, documented mechanic, not a guess.
