Veletas is a drawless territory game for two players: Black and White. It is played on the spaces (squares) of a 10x10 checkered square board, which is initially empty.

Apart from the board, the necessary material comprises seven shooters and a sufficient number of black and white stones.

Both players control a number of neutral red pieces and shoot stones of their own colour from them.

In order to win, a player must claim a majority of neutral pieces by having them surrounded by larger groups of their own pieces than their opponents.
