Your first task is a simple one. Get a [[stash]] for each player and a chessboard.
*Two monochrome stashes
*An 8×8 grid
*A couple of index cards or sheets of paper

Got 'em? All right, so far, so good. Now both of you will have to draw up a card like this:<br>▼

It doesn't have to be anything fancy. You can use any old scrap of paper, as long as there's enough room to lay a large piece in the general area of any circle without encroaching on the others. You don't even have to draw the arrows unless you want to; they're just here to show that the letters stand for '''O'''rthogonal, '''D'''iagonal, and '''L'''-shaped movement. If you can remember that much on your own (and surely you can remember that much?) then the arrows can be done without.
Take one piece of each size from your stash. This is your Triumvirate. These pieces will dictate how your pieces on the board move and how they can be captured. Place them on the indicated section of the card, one per circle, in any order you like, [[orientation|flat]] or [[orientation|upright]]. The Prisoner section will remain empty for the time being.

Line 151 ⟶ 181:
Captured pieces become Prisoners. At the end of any turn in which you take a Prisoner, you have the option of using it as a Hostage. If you choose to do so, place the piece in the appropriate section of your card. If not, place it in a separate holding area. Hostages add to your movement points and affect your pieces in the same manner as the Triumvirate. However, once placed, they cannot be moved, with one exception: When you take a new Prisoner, you may move a Hostage into your holding area and put the new Prisoner in its place.
==Game End==
To win, you must have enough Prisoners (not including Hostages) to form two complete [[tree|trees]] that is, at least two of each size.
