Description

TOBITO is a pure abstract strategy game for multiple players. The goal is simple: Move your three pieces to the three spaces on the opposite side of the board before your opponents can do so. Players may jump over opposing pieces, which they then relocate. You will find it's not easy to progress at times because of your opponent's movement and re-location of your pieces.

Each player has three colored pieces with reversible faces to show their goal sign. Each player sets their three pieces, plain color up, on their three starting spaces. A turn is made by moving one of your pieces. Passing your turn isn't allowed.

You can move any one of your pieces to an unoccupied space in any of eight directions (horizontally, vertically or diagonally). You may move a piece by jumping over any number of adjacent pieces, whether your own or an opponent's, onto a vacant space. When jumped, your pieces stay where they are, but opposing pieces must be relocated to a vacant space.

Once a piece reaches the goal, you flip it over, and that piece is now immobile. You can't move it, and opposing players can't jump over it because it can't be relocated.

At the end of your turn, if you haven't won and all of your starting spaces are occupied with pieces — whether yours or others — you are out of the game. If more than one player remains in the game, remove all of your pieces from the board. Continue the game to determine the winner.

The first player to move their three pieces to the opposite side of the board or the last active player still in the game wins.
