Simple to learn, interesting to play and challenging to master!!!
"King of the Jungle" is a variation of Chess, based on the Chinese game of "Dou
Shou Qi". The two players (Red and Blue) move alternately. Both players have
8 animals initially. Each animal has a unique strength with the Elephant
having the highest (8) and the Mouse having the lowest (1).
The objective is to get one of your animals into the den of the opponent (at
the opposite side of the board)
Board
The board consists of 7 x 9 squares, representing the territories of two
players in the jungle. At each player's end is a den. Adjoining the den are
three special squares denoting traps. There is a river, with 3 bridges across
it, that runs along the center of the board. The animals are lined up in the
initial formation, with the strength of each animal mentioned alongside.
Moves
Each animal can move one square at a time in vertical or horizontal
direction. Diagonal moves are not permitted. No animal may enter its own den.
Only one animal may occupy a square at any time. No animal may move to a square
occupied by an animal of higher strength (subject to the rules of capture given
below). Red makes the first move. While playing against the Phone, the Human
player plays with the Red Animals.
Some special moves allowed are:


* The mouse is the ONLY animal that can enter the river. Other animals must
use a bridge to get across the river

* The lion and tiger may 'jump' in a straight line, across the river
(vertically) or from one bridge to another (horizontally). Such a leap is not
allowed if a mouse is in the line of the jump


Capture
An animal may capture its counterpart or any other animal of lesser strength.
A capture is performed by moving to the square occupied by the animal to be
captured, subject to the rules of Moves. Special cases are:


* The mouse may capture the elephant but the elephant may NOT capture the
mouse

* A mouse in the river may NOT capture an animal on land or on the bridges.
It may however capture the opponent mouse if both animals are inside the river

* Any animal that is on a trap square (adjacent to the den) may be captured
by any of the opponents pieces, irrespective of strength. An
elephant may even capture a mouse in such a case

* The lion and tiger may capture by "leaping" across the river


Winner
A player wins the game in either of the two cases:


* Any animal belonging to that player enters the den of the opponent

* All the opponent's pieces have been captured by the player
