What is "huff"?

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.
