Hinck is played on a 9 by 9 field board. Every player has 40 pieces, meaning that only the center square is unoccupied when the game starts. The goal of the game is to get rid of your own pieces. You can do this by capturing your own pieces or by forcing your opponent to capture them. Capturing is done by jumping over an opponent similar to checkers. You must capture if you are able to. If you are able to make another capture after a capture move you must do so. (again, like in checkers) You can only move horizontally. Twice in the game you can skip your turn.
