Mad Rooks is a two-player game which uses a 8x8 checkerboard, 32 red checkers and 32 blue checkers.

The checkers function like Chess rooks with two restrictions. On your turn you must either kill, or move into position to kill. If a checker is already in position to kill, it can only be used to kill. Killing is not mandatory. I.e. if you can move an unengaged checker to engage the enemy, you can do that instead.

Mad Rooks is a game of annihilation. I.e., you must kill all enemy checkers to win.
