Matobo

You want to build as many columns as possible and as high as you can. 39 pieces in five shapes are distributed on the board, identical shapes should not be adjacent. You place your pawn on a piece of your choice and move in your turn over hex edges, either 1) on the adjacent piece; you can take the piece you vacated or - if you already hold such pieces - can stack all of them on the vacated piece and mark the column with one of your markers or 2) you jump over any number of empty hexes to a piece, in analogy to 1). Or you can 3) jump directly onto a vacant spot, thereby you can jump over any number of your own columns. When all pieces are taken you score the columns, "number of pieces x 2 minus 1 point", that is e.g., 9 points for a column of five pieces, as well as majorities in kinds of remaining pieces and win with the highest total.
