Gameplay

• Each player gets a 4*4 board and fits them together. This is each player's territory.
• Each player gets 3 pawns (one dot), 3 drones (two dots) and 3 queens (three dots) and places them in their territory. Colours don't matter.
• On your turn, move a piece in your territory. If you move onto an opponent's piece, you capture it.
• Pawns can move one space diagonally, drones can move up to two spaces orthogonally (left or right but not diagonally) and queens can move any number of spaces in any direction.
• You can merge a drone and a pawn to a queen if you have no queens, and merge two pawns to a drone if you have no drones.
• In a 2-player game, your opponent may not “reject” your move; if one player moves a piece across the canal, the other can’t move it back to the same square it came from.

End of the Game

• The game ends when a territory is empty.
• Each player scores 1 point for a dot on a piece they capture. The player with the most points wins.
• If there is a tie, the player who makes the move causing the game to end is the winner, regardless of points.
