Five Field Kono is a Korean abstract strategy game. As in Chinese checkers, a player wins by moving all of their pieces into the starting locations of their opponent's pieces.

Rules

The players take turns moving one of their pieces one square diagonally. The first player to move all of their pieces to their opponent's starting squares wins.
