Online compatible : Yes - Without additional apparatus, this game requires a top down view. If played several times in a day, no doubt teachers arms will ache from holding a camera above the board. However, a sound investment in 2 sets of 10 magnets of 2 different colors, and a small magnetic whiteboard, often sold at dollar stores, will mean a teacher can instead attach the game board to the magnetic whiteboard and use the color magnets as playing pieces. This method would mean the game could easily be played in front of a static built in camera.

Place counters from team 1 to cover the black dots of the board from 1-10. Place team 2's counters to cover the black dots of 16 to 25. On each turn a team may move one counter diagonally forwards or backwards. Counters may not leap over counters, nor can they capture them.
