Aries is played on a 8×8 board with the following setup:
The player takes turn to one of their 16 , who moves like chess rooks.
If they move onto an enemy then that , and all enemy in a line behind it, are pushed back. If the line ends with a friendly or board edge then the last in the line is killed.
Here Player 1 is about to use f1 to push d1 .
All are then pushed one step left except b1 who is squished against a1 and killed.
A pushed may not push back at the who pushed it in the directly subsequent move.
The first player to get a unit into their opponent's starting corner is the winner!
