No, how does it work?

Turnbased strategic boardgame. One player plays with white pieces, the other with black pieces.
So far it's pretty much similar to chess.
Both white and black pieces may have a coloured number 1, 2, 3 or 4 on top. The colour is either silver or gold. Two white and two black pieces lack this coloured number - these are called free pieces.
In one turn a piece moves a number of squares horizontally / vertically - depending on the number on top of the piece. For example, a 4-piece can move exactly 4 squares, and it may switch direction. The small free piece can move 1 square, the tall free piece can move any number of squares.
A piece can capture another piece but only on the final square of its own movement. For example a 3-piece must move over two empty squares before capturing another piece.
Gold pieces can only capture other gold pieces, silver pieces can only capture other silver pieces. Free pieces can capture - and be captured by - all pieces.
It's also allowed for white to capture white pieces, or for black to capture black pieces as long as this gold-silver rule is respected.
A piece promotes if it reaches its own starting square on the other side of the board. For example the white gold 4, while starting on a1, promotes when finishing its turn on g7. When promoted, the piece is turned upside down on that square and freezes forever, and the player is allowed to put one of its own captured pieces (but not a free one) back on the board on any square.
You win by capturing all enemy pieces, or by promoting all of your coloured (silver/gold) pieces, or by blocking the movement of all enemy pieces. Draw is also possible.
I may have forgotten some details, but this should give an impression.
