Arimaa rules
Yet to be written down. Arimaa is played on a Chess board which has four trap fields. The pieces are not the regular Chess pieces, but instead animal characters. Pieces are not jumped on, but they are pushed or pulled into a trap to have them removed from the board.

Protocol and documentation
Arimaa networking adheres to the Bogaprot protocol which is shared by many board games. The XML protocol file can also be examined directly.
