Dansington is kind of a checkers thing, only no piece ever leaves the board. The object of the game is to move all your marbles to the other side before your opponent does. This takes skill and planning so you don't trap yourself in the process. 2 players at a time can play Dansington, each player has 25 marbles that have to be moved to the opposite side of the board. The marbles can only be moved forward, to the side, or at a diagonal but not backwards. Marbles can jump any other marble including your own provided there is an empty space after the marble being jumped. You can also make multiple jumps as long as there continues to be an empty space after each marble jumped. Marbles may be moved only one space at a time if no jump is possible. The first to move all their marbles to the opposite side wins. --description from publisher
