Frisian draughts is a variant of draughts native to Friesland in the Netherlands.[1] The rules are similar to International draughts, but is notable for its unique feature of allowing for orthogonal captures (up, down, left, right) in addition to the familiar diagonal capture of most draughts variants.[2]
