Skippity

Players begin by randomly arranging 100 tokens in five colors on a 10x10 board, leaving the four central spaces empty. On each turn, a token jumps orthogonally over an adjacent token into an empty space, capturing the jumped token; multiple jumps may be made in one turn. The game ends when no further jumps are possible. Players organize their captured tokens into sets of five different colors, and the player with the most sets wins. Any remaining captured tokens break ties.
