Baroj

Baroj (barriers) is a breaktrough/race board game wich can be played on a square or a hexagonal grid. Pieces move 1 or 2 cells forward orthogonally and diagonally, (sideways and backwards moves are not allowed) and captures are made by jumping in straight line over an adjacent friendly piece and falling on an adjacent enemy piece. Captures can be made in any of 4 orthogonal directions (so backwards and sideways captures are allowed, but not diagonally).

The goal of the game is to move one of your pieces out of the board through your opponent's line. Notice that pieces can move 2 cells forward, so you can move out of the board from your opponent's second row.

Best board sizes recommended are 7x8 or 8x8 for square boards.

The game can be played on a hexagonal grid with 5 or 6 cells per side. Here, pieces can move even sideways, but not backward. The moving piece must advance forward at least one cell at the end of the turn. Captures are made in straight line in any of 6 directions.
