== Gameplay ==

=== Territory & Pieces ===
* 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.

=== Movement & Capture ===
* 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).
* '''Queens:''' Can move any number of spaces in any direction.

=== Merging Pieces ===
* You can merge a drone and a pawn into a queen if you have no queens, and merge two pawns into a drone if you have no drones.

=== 2-Player Rule ===
* 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.
* '''Scoring:''' Each player scores 1 point for a dot on a piece they capture. The player with the most points wins.
* '''Tie-breaker:''' If there is a tie, the player who makes the move causing the game to end is the winner, regardless of points.
