Editing Terrace (board game) (section)

==Rules==
The game board for ''Terrace'' has either 64 or 36 squares of uniform color, arranged in L-shaped levels ("terraces") that rise stepwise from the board's lowest points in two diagonally opposite corners to its highest points in the other two corners. All pieces are shaped alike and move according to the same rules, but they are of four different sizes and vary in capturing "power." One of each player's smallest pieces has the letter "T" carved into it and has a role somewhat similar to the [[King (chess)|king in chess]].<ref name="object">{{cite web|url=http://www.terracegames.com/rules.html |title=The 4 rules of Terrace |publisher=[[Siler/Siler Ventures]] |accessdate=2015-07-23 |quote=THE OBJECT OF THE GAME: To capture your opponent's 'T' (the small marked piece) OR to move your own 'T' to the lowest square across the board. |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20060430134129/http://www.terracegames.com/rules.html |archivedate=April 30, 2006 }}</ref>

The object is to win either by moving your "T" piece from its starting point at one corner to an opposite corner, or by capturing your opponent's "T". Players can move any number of squares on the same terrace, and are allowed to jump over their own pieces. Players can move up a terrace by either going straight up or diagonally up. Players can move down a terrace by going straight down. Opponent's pieces, and even one's own pieces, may be captured by moving diagonally down.  Pieces may only capture those of equal or lesser size. It is courteous to say 'Terrace' when the opponent's "T" piece is placed in jeopardy of being caught the next turn; "Terrace-Mate" should be said when the opponent's "T" piece cannot escape. In 3 and 4 player games, when a player loses their "T", all of their pieces are removed from the board; other players continue the game. If a player cannot make a move during their turn, the game is a draw, with no winner or loser.
