Lines of Action
Lines of Action is a simple game that uses checkers board and pieces. Its rules were published in Sid Sackson's A Gamut of Games. There are some commercial versions available though.
The object of LoA is to get all your pieces into a single connected group. A group of pieces is connected if they occupy an unbroken chain of adjacent spaces, horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.

Goal
The object of the game is to connect all of one's pieces together into a contiguous body so that they are connected vertically, horizontally or diagonally. Here is an example winning move.
Setup
Movement
- Players alternate moves, with Red having the first move.
- Pieces move in a line horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.
- A piece moves exactly as many spaces as there are pieces (both friendly and enemy) on the line in which it is moving.
A piece may not jump over an enemy piece
White cannot play a6-d6, even though there are three pieces in row 6. White might instead play a6-c4, moving two spaces because there are two pieces in the diagonal (a6-f1).
A piece may jump over friendly pieces
Red may continue with e8-b5, jumping their own piece. It moves three spaces because there are three pieces in the diagonal (a4-e8).
A piece may capture an enemy piece
For example, White may play h3-f1, capturing the red piece on f1.
A player who is reduced to a single piece wins the game, because their pieces are by definition united.
If a move results, due to a capture, in each player having all their pieces in a contiguous body, then either the player moving wins, or the game is a draw, depending on the rules in force.
Example winning move
White has just won with the move b6-c7.
