The game is played with twenty black pieces by one player and twenty orange by his opponent, and is presumed to have originally represented a battle between the black race of the south and the yellow race of the north. On Mars the board is usually arranged so that the black pieces are played from the south and the orange from the north. The game is won when any piece is placed on the same square with the opponents Princess, or when a Chief takes a Chief. The game is drawn when either Chief is taken by a piece other than the opposing Chief, or when both sides are reduced to three pieces, or less, of equal value and the game is not won in the ensuing ten moves, five apiece.
 
The Princess may not move onto a threatened square, nor may she take an opposing piece. She is entitled to move one ten-space move at any time during the game. This move is called the escape. Two pieces may not occupy the same square except in the final move of a game where the Princess is taken. When a player, moving properly and in order, places one of his pieces upon a square occupied by an opponent piece, the opponent piece is considered to have been killed and is removed from the game.
The moves explained. Straight moves mean due north, south, east, or west; diagonal moves mean northeast, southeast, southwest, or northwest. A Dwar might move straight north three spaces, or north one space and east two spaces, or any similar combination of straight moves, so long as he did not cross the same square twice in a single move. This example explains combination moves. The first move may be decided in any way that is agreeable to both players; after the first game the winner of the preceding game moves first if he chooses, or may instruct his opponent to make the first move.
Gambling: Martians gamble at Jetan in several ways. Of course the outcome of the game indicates to whom the main stake belongs; but they also put a price upon the head of each piece, according to its value, and for each piece that a player loses he pays its value to his opponent.
