To enable them to move, you insert a Prong in one of 8 faces of the Pod.
When a Pod have at least one Prong, it may move one square in the direction of its Prongs.
A piece with prongs may jumps over both friend and enemy pieces, capturing them if desired.
When you capture a piece, you receive the captured Prongs that can be used.
Captured Pods cannot be used.Multiple jumps are allowed, so long as the same square is not jumped more that once per turn.
