Hyper-pad Tips

Hyper-pads do not count as part of your 'move.' If you land on one, the next jump is free!

When you land on a hyper-pad, you must 'beam-out' to any other un-occupied hyper-pad. Pawns are not restricted by direction.

After you arrive at your destination hyper-pad, you will need to leave that hyper-pad and re-enter (or land on another hyper-pad) to 'beam-out' again.

Since kings have two moves, they can use move #1 to exit and then move #2 to re-enter and 'beam out.'
