Monkey Queen is a two-player game, played on a 12x12 checkerboard. The board is initially set up with two queens - one stack of 20 for each player, set on the 'F' and 'G' files on opposite sides of the board.

A monkey queen captures exactly like a Chess queen. Slide in any direction along a straight line of unoccupied squares ending with the capture of an enemy piece.

When not capturing, a queen moves any distance in any direction, again like a Chess queen, except it leaves its bottom checker behind on the originating square, reducing its stack height by one. The queen monkey has thus given birth to a baby monkey.

A monkey baby, like a monkey queen, captures exactly like a Chess queen.

Babies also have a non-capture move. During non-capturing moves, babies must move closer to the enemy queen.

You win if you capture the enemy queen, or deprive your opponent of moves.
