Fevga
Same way round, no hitting, run past their start first
Fevga is the third game of Greek Tavli and a race of its own. Both players start in opposite corners and run the same way round; a single checker holds its point, so blocks win games. Your first checker must pass the opponent’s starting point before any other may move, and nobody may wall in every opposing checker.
