	Halma - LoveToKnow 1911
		HALMA (Greek for "jump"), a table game, a form of which was known to the ancient Greeks, played on a board divided into 256 squares with wooden men, resembling chess pawns.
		The moves are made alternately, the mode of progression being by a step, from one square to another immediately adjacent, or by a jump (whence the name), which is the jumping of a man from a square in front of it into an empty square on the other side of it.
		This corresponds to jumping in draughts, except that, in halma, the hop may be in any direction, over friendly as well as hostile men, and the men jumped over are not taken but remain on the board.

	Buy Halma
		Halma is a famous old Victorian game in which the objective is not to capture your opponent's pieces but instead to hop over them in an effort to get to the opposite side first.
		Halma is quite difficult to obtain these days and certainly there have been no quality versions of the game since the early 1900s.
		In the end, we weren't happy with any of the old designs which are either cluttered or ugly and we came up with our own idea that we feel is the most aesthetic of any board we have yet seen - dark spots for the inner borders and white spots for the 2 outer borders.

		In Pythagoreic Halma with "advanced rules" a piece may jump over multiple squares, as long as a single piece occupies the center square along the jump, and the other squares are empty.
		The difference between Platonic Halma and Pythagoreic Halma is (1) in the latter there is one piece less (there is only one Diamond) (2) the board is smaller (9x9), and (3) circles may not move in the backward directions.
