It does occasionally happen that a player is able to move a piece all the way from the starting corner across the board and into the opposite corner in one turn! After each hop, the player may either finish or, if possible and desired, continue by hopping over another piece. A hop may be over any coloured piece including the player's own and can proceed in any one of the eight directions. Where a hopping move is made, each hop must be over an adjacent piece and into the vacant square directly beyond it. Each space is adjacent to up to six other spaces. The Halma board is a triangular grid with 82 playing spaces, which are arranged in the shape of a six-pointed star. Two opposing corners additionally have another heavy line which delineates the 19 corner squares for the initial position of the pieces in the 2 player game. In each corner, a heavy line delineates 13 squares, which are the starting squares for pieces in the 4 player game. If there are 5 players, the game is played asymmetrically. A Halma board consists of 16 x 16 small chequered squares. The piece may either be simply moved into an adjacent square OR it may make one or more hops over other pieces. The Halma game board is suitable for 2 to 6 players. Players take turns to move a single piece of their own colour. The PlayĪ toss of a coin decides who starts. In this case, the game is won when all the available points within the area are occupied. Should one or more of the squares in the target area contain a piece belonging to another player, this does not prevent a player from winning. HALMA consists of a board having a total of 256 spaces upon which. The aim of the game is to be the first to player to move all pieces across the board and into opposing corner, within area delineated by the heavy line. HALMA may be played by two, three or four players. When 2 players play, 19 pieces are positioned in the appropriate opposing corners in formation 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 4 when 4 players play, 13 pieces are positioned in each corner in formation 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 3.
