<div>== Goal ==<br />
You own 10 marbles that start in the triangle at the bottom of the board. These marbles are the only ones you're allowed to move.<br />
<br />
Your goal is to bring all of them as fast as possible to the opposite triangle, at the top.<br />
<br />
== Moves ==<br />
When it's your turn, you can either :<br />
: • Move one marble to an adjacent free hole, in any direction - even backward.<br />
: • Perform one or more consecutive hops.<br />
: &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • A hop is defined as a jump over any adjacent marble - your own or your opponent's - to a free hole beyond it.<br />
: &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Jumping over a marble does NOT remove it from the board.<br />
: &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • You may change direction between 2 consecutive hops.<br />
: &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • While hopping, you may temporarily pass through a hole in a side triangle but you're not allowed to stay there.<br />
On BGA, after selecting a marble, legal moves are highlighted in white. Simply click the final position you want to reach.<br />
<br />
== Scoring ==<br />
You score one point each time one of your marbles moves one step closer to the goal. It's therefore possible to gain several points at once with a well-calculated series of hops. It's also possible to score 0 if you move sideways or even to lose points if you move backwards.<br />
<br />
This scoring method guarantees that the game always ends when a player reaches 120 points - when all their marbles are inside the goal area.<br />
<br />
When this happens, the game ends immediately. The player with 120 points is the winner and all other players are ranked according to their score.<br />
<br />
== Strategy ==<br />
: • With hops you can progress much faster than with single steps. Try to align marbles to create a "ladder" that enables a large series of hops.<br />
: • Avoid keeping an isolated marble at the back. Catching up is hard.<br />
: • Watch your opponents' moves. If you see them building a ladder, try to block them.<br />
: • With 4 or 6 players, it's usually better to cooperate with the player in front of you at the start of the game. If you don't, your shared opponents - players on the sides - will probably progress faster than both of you.</div>Noodles1016
