Nigeria's distinctive 10×10 game
Nigerian draughts 100 — rules and training
Our frozen nigerian100-v1 contract models the Nigerian rules family as its own game, not an alias of international draughts. Its board uses mirrored playable-square parity and a red long diagonal.

Men and kings
Men move forward and capture both ways. Kings are flying, and promotion occurs after the complete turn.
Mandatory capture without a maximum
Capturing is mandatory, but the player may choose any complete sequence; taking the maximum is not required.
Captured pieces remain blockers
During a multiple capture, taken pieces remain on the board until the turn ends and cannot be captured twice.
