Alquerque

Alquerque is a strategy board game each player places their twelve pieces. The game is played in turns, with one player taking white and the other black. A piece can move from its point to any empty adjacent point that is connected by a line. A piece can jump over an opposing piece and remove it from the game, if that opposing piece is adjacent and the point beyond it is empty. Multiple capturing jumps are permitted, and indeed compulsory if possible. If a capture is possible it must be made, or else the piece is removed. The goal of the game is to eliminate the opponent's pieces.
