===First movement of pawns===
Pawns, to start the game faster, are allowed to move two spaces on their first move (as marked by the circle in their movement chart). Unlike in Chess, pawns in Brayout take the figures directly in front of them.
===Horses and knights===
Horses ([[File:BrayoutFigKA.png|20px|link=]]) and knights ([[File:BrayoutFigK+A.png|20px|link=]]) are the only two figures which can get to their point even if it is blocked by a hostile figure. Preacher ([[File:BrayoutFigBA.png|20px|link=]]) and speaker ([[File:BrayoutFigB+A.png|20px|link=]]), despite having the reach of a horse, need a clear line in their movement to get to the horse-ability places (for example if the diagonal of a preacher is blocked before the horse spot, they can not skip that figure and enter the horse position).
===Palaces===
Palaces are located in the squares E1, E2, F1, F2 (one palace) and E9, Eᚴ, F9, Fᚴ (the other palace). If the king ([[File:BrayoutFigRA.png|20px|link=]]) is located in the palace they began in (not the opposing palace), they can do a move called "king's leap", which allows them to jump two spaces instead of one (as marked by the circle in their movement chart). That doesn't mean, that kings are not allowed to move in the palace normally, just that they can perform the jump.
{{Template:PalacesBrayoutBoard}}

This move can be performed unlimited number of times, as long as the king doesn't enter opponent's promotion area. The moment the king enters the opponent's promotion zone, the palace is considered "disbanded" and the king may not perform the move anymore. The king may not perform the jump from outside into the palace, only from inside out.
===Promotion===
The promotion of a figure is done by flipping it. The promotion of a figure can (but doesn't have to) be done when the figure enters the opposing player's promotion zone, which are the three last rows of the board.
{{Template:PromotionBrayoutBoard}}

The promotions are:
*[[File:BrayoutFigPA.png|20px|link=]] [[wikipedia:Shogi#Movement|Pawn]] → [[File:BrayoutFigP+A.png|20px|link=]] [[wikipedia:Shogi#Movement|Dragon]]
*[[File:BrayoutFigVA.png|20px|link=]] [[wikipedia:Rook (chess)|Rook]] → [[File:BrayoutFigV+A.png|20px|link=]] Stronghold
*[[File:BrayoutFigSA.png|20px|link=]] [[wikipedia:Bishop (chess)|Bishop]] → [[File:BrayoutFigS+A.png|20px|link=]] Serviceman
*[[File:BrayoutFigKA.png|20px|link=]] [[wikipedia:Knight (chess)|Horse]] → [[File:BrayoutFigK+A.png|20px|link=]] Knight
*[[File:BrayoutFigBA.png|20px|link=]] [[wikipedia:Princess (chess)|Preacher]] → [[File:BrayoutFigB+A.png|20px|link=]] [[wikipedia:Empress (chess)|Speaker]]
[[wikipedia:King (chess)|King]], [[wikipedia:Queen (chess)|Queen]] and [[wikipedia:Ferz|Advisor]] can not be promoted.

Once any figure is promoted, it can not be un-promoted (which may be eventual disadvantage in the case of a preacher/speaker)
===Captivity===
Just like in [[wikipedia:Shogi|Shogi]] or [[wikipedia:Crazyhouse|Crazyhouse]], captured enemy pieces may be introduced as your own piece.
{{Template:CaptivityBrayoutBoard}}

The difference with the above mentioned mechanics, in Brayout, that this system is merged with [[wikipedia:Promotion (chess)|Chess promotion system]].
There is a total of 10 captivity slots. Due to obvious reasons, pawns, advisors and a king can not be taken captive, as they can not be used in this mechanic, which leaves 9 figures that can realistically be taken hostage. That leaves unavoidably one space on the captivity line unoccupied.

This rule changes, if enemy uses your captured pieces in their promotions, in which case you may capture more than 10 opponent's pieces. In that case, you must make a decision which of those captured pieces you wish to remove from the game forever (this action is called "killing the prisoners"). If you kill a less strong piece, you are risking, that later on in the game, if you place some of the stonger pieces on the board, it may be captured and used against you. If you kill a stronger piece, it may give you material disadvantage in hypothetical future situation.

If the taken figure is promoted, it will be placed back on the board in its unpromoted state and must leave and re-enter the promotion zone to get promoted.

Replacement of a pawn/advisor with a figure is not considered a move on its own and is done at the end of the player's move. Both pawns and advisors must be promoted once they reach the end of the board, no matter the captive slots.
==Rules==
The game begins with 7 pawns being thrown onto the board. The person throwing has the unpromoted ([[File:BrayoutFigPA.png|20px|link=]]) side, while the opponent has the dragon/promoted ([[File:BrayoutFigP+A.png|20px|link=]]) side (similairly to [[wikipedia:Shogi|Shogi]]). The person who gets more of their type (pawn/dragon) starts the game. Then the players do moves interchangably, each moving one piece at the time. Promotions and upgrades from captivity are not considered moves on their own and are done after the player moves one of its pieces.

The pieces are taken captive (or in case of advisors and pawns killed) when the opponent's piece enters the same square they are located in. Player can not take captive their own piece or have multiple pieces in one square. Unlike [[wikipedia:Chess|Chess]], there is usually no timer, so some games may take up hours, if not days. Although there is no timer, "[[wikipedia:Filibuster|filibustering]]" (AKA putting the game on halt with no intention to make the next move in a reasonable timeframe) is not allowed and the player may not be allowed to leave the playing table or do anything unrelated to the game unless agreed by their opponent.

The game end when:
# There are only kings remaining on the board - ends with a tie
# A king is pinned in a position where it is under attack and has no way of avoiding the attack - equivalent to [[wikipedia:Checkmate|Checkmate]] in Chess - The attacked king's player loses the match
# A player can not do any moves because that would pin their king in a [[wikipedia:Checkmate|Checkmate]] - The player unable to move loses the match
# Both players agree to settle on a tie
# A player is caught cheating - automatic loss (unless previously agreed that cheating is allowed)
# Both players agree to settle on a status quo ante ludum - no points are given to anybody as if the game never happened
There used to be a option for players to preemptively agree on who lost and who won, but this option was abused by people filibustering the game and was removed by the International Brayout Federation in 1915.
