Knightcap is played by two players (light and dark) on an 8x8 chess-like board with 63 horses of the same color. Both player can use every horse as long as that horse can jump to an empty field in a chess-like manner. The piece jumped over is captured. The dark player only captures pieces on dark fields, the light player only those on light fields. Multiple captures in a single turn are possible. A single point is scored for every horse captured over the amount of 30. First player to reach 10 points wins. Several rounds may be played to reach the goal.
