ZeCaRi

 
By Gerd P. Degens

The Game requires a board with 15 ranks and 15 files. 
On ranks 2 to 8, pieces are morphed according to the rules (see below). There is no morphing on ranks 1 and 9.

Included in the game are so-called ZeCaRis; these are hybrid figures made up of the Zebra and Camel figures in the Rider version (ZebraCamelRider).
