Each player has 24 pieces; 8 horus (large cylinders, worth 6 points), 8 bastets (large triangles, worth 3 points) and 8 scarabs (small round buttons, worth 1 point).

The game starts on an empty 8x18 board and a player can either place a new piece on an empty space of the board or move an existing one on the board - depending on it's movement restrictions.

Winner is the player with the most captures, that is not the number of captures, but the total value of the captured pieces.
