Mak-yek
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mak-yek is a board game played in Thailand and Malaysia (under the name Apit-sodok) on an 8 by 8 board by two players each having sixteen pieces or "men."
Men are laid out on the first and third row from the player. There is no special way of deciding who starts the game. Players take turns moving their men horizontally or vertically like the rook in chess (i.e. not through pieces), capturing the opponent's pieces through intervention and custodian capture. The first player with no pieces left loses.
