Custodian capture is a game term used when an opponent’s piece is surrounded on two or more sides by the capturing player’s pieces. Once the opponent’s piece is blocked, it is removed from the board. This capture requires careful positioning and strategy, as it depends on trapping the opponent’s piece in a way that it has no possible moves left. It is a useful tactic for gaining control of the board and limiting the opponent's options.

Displacement capture is a method of capturing in some board games where a player removes an opponent's piece from the board and places their own piece in its position. This type of capture occurs when one piece directly replaces another, effectively taking over its spot on the board. It is different from other capture methods, where pieces might be simply removed or blocked, and adds a layer of strategy by allowing the capturing player to take control of the space occupied by the opponent's piece. This method is commonly found in games that involve strategic movement and positioning.

Huff is a rule in some board games that allows a player to capture an opponent's piece by removing it from the board. This happens when the opponent fails to capture one of the player's pieces that could have made a capture move on that turn. In other words, if a player has an opportunity to take an opponent's piece and does not do so, the opponent may "huff" and take their piece as a penalty. It adds an extra layer of strategy, as players must be careful not to miss opportunities, or they risk losing a piece.

The player does this by moving one of their own pieces to a square next to the opponent's recently captured piece. This rule gives the player the chance to retaliate quickly, taking advantage of the opponent's move by capturing their piece right after the capture occurs. It adds a strategic element, requiring players to be mindful of their own captures and the potential for an opponent to strike back.

The pie rule is a rule used in some two-player board games, especially in games like Hex or certain variations of games like chess. It is designed to balance the advantage of going first. When the player who goes second sees the first player's move, they have the option to "swap" positions with the first player, effectively allowing the second player to choose whether they want to continue with the first move or take the advantage of the first move themselves. This rule helps prevent the player who goes first from having an unfair advantage and keeps the game more balanced.
