I've been trying to find the name of an old and simple board game but I can't seem to be able to. The rules were something in these lines:
2 players
The board has around 10 board squares or holes set in a row
Each player has 4 pieces (I think) that are located in opposite sides of the board.
The initial set up is like this ('1' means player's 1 pieces, '2' player's 2 and _ empty square)
1 1 1 1 _ _ 2 2 2 2
The goal of the game is to move all your pieces to the other side with rules:
- You can only move one piece and one square at a time
- 2 pieces can't be in the same square
- If you want to move a piece to a square occupied by another piece you jump over any piece and go to the next empty square
So the game could go like this (Sorry I noticed that I started with player 2 when I was halfway through but shouldn't change anything):
1 1 1 1 _ _ 2 2 2 2
1 1 1 1 _ 2 _ 2 2 2
_ 1 1 1 1 2 _ 2 2 2
2 1 1 1 1 _ _ 2 2 2
2 _ 1 1 1 1 _ 2 2 2
...
Anybody knows what is the name of this game?
Thank you!
Edit This is more or less how a few rounds of the game look like. Each rectangle is one turn. Blue is moving from right to left and red from left to right. Also the game ends when a player gets all the pieces on the other side
