📖 About This Game

Lines of Action is a simple game that uses checkers board and pieces. Its rules were published in Sid Sackson's A Gamut of Games. There are some commercial versions available though. The object of LoA is to get all your pieces into a single connected group. A group of pieces is connected if they occupy an unbroken chain of adjacent spaces, horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.
