Hot Spot is played on a board that has 64 spaces (8x8) like a checkerboard/chessboard. Each player starts with 12 pieces, each containing a number 1, 2, or 3, denoting how many spaces the piece moves. Pieces may only move in straight lines and over or onto their own or the opponent's pieces.Pieces are captured by being in an opponent's movement range. The captured piece is turned over on the board. The game is won, when a player's eight pieces are captured. - BoardGameGeek
