In Yangsh two players try to make rows of 5 markers by flipping them to their own color. Markers can be flipped by jumping over them with pawns, moving along straight lines in 8 directions. Pawns can only land on an empty field. Markers are placed when taking off form an empty field. When you succeed in making 5-in-a-row, you must take the row and one of your pawns off the board, making it harder for you to make the next 5-in-a-row. First player to play 3 pawns off the board wins.
