Byte employs either a standard 8x8 Checkers set with 24 checkers, or an international Draughts set with 40 checkers. During the game three stacks of eight checkers will form (five stacks of eight in the international version). Stacks can be made up of any combination of the two colors in any order. The player who wins the majority of the three stacks wins the game.
Two major mechanisms cause the players to cooperate in forming the three stacks of eight. One mechanism brings stacks nearer to other stacks and a second mechanism merges adjacent stacks together.
There is no jumping, capturing, killing or any of the usual mechanisms. Byte is a game of cooperation. Someone will always win though - draws and ties cannot occur in Byte.
