Game play

1. Each player owns 2 stone colours. To start, Player 1 places one stone of either of their colours on any empty space.
2. From then on, starting with Player 2, the players take turns. On your turn, you must place 1 or 2 stones on any empty spaces.
   • If you place 2 stones, they must be different colours.
3. After you place your stone(s), capture all smothered enemy groups, and then capture all overgrown enemy groups.
4. The first player to have captured X enemy stones wins.
