Tactical briefing
Know the board. Own the match.
How to Play
- 01Each player begins with twelve stones on the two rows nearest their side of the 6×6 board.
- 02For a quiet move, step one stone to any adjacent empty point, including diagonally.
- 03To capture, travel orthogonally through at least one corner loop and land on the first opposing stone encountered.
- 04Every point along a capture route must be clear. Captures are optional, so repositioning can be stronger than striking immediately.
Winning Conditions
Capture every opposing stone. If fifty moves pass without a capture, the player with more stones wins, and equal counts are a draw. A match is also drawn if the same position occurs three times or the next player has no legal move.
Fair play, pure skill
Surakarta is matched by skill, protected by anti-cheat, and decided by strategy — never luck.
