Pieces in the Trench cannot be taken from enemy territory and can charge out taking multiple pieces. There are 5 ranks of pieces which are shaped with either 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 levels. A rank 1 can move 1 space. A rank 2 can move 2 spaces but with additional options on directions. A level 3 can move 3 spaces also with increased options on directions, etc. The winner is determined by either eliminating all of their opponent's pieces or by points since each piece has a value reflected in their rank.
