==Preparation==
The starting player gets 2 red DVONN pieces and 23 white pieces.

The other player gets 1 red DVONN piece and 23 black pieces.

The game starts with an empty board. The players take turns placing their pieces on the spaces of the board, one at a time.

===Random setup===
On BGA the game can also be played with a semi randomly filled board. With this option selected the game starts directly with the second phase.

==First phase: Placing pieces==
Starting with white, the players place pieces alternatingly, one at a time.

They start with the DVONN pieces and continue with their own color.

A piece may be put on any vacant space, without restriction.

==Second phase: Stacking pieces==
Starting with white, the players alternatingly move one piece or a stack of their own color.

The color of the topmost piece determines who owns a stack, and thus who may move it.

A piece or stack must always be moved as a whole and moves as many spaces as there are pieces in the stack. They can be moved in any direction, but only along straight lines.

A move may never end in an empty space, but it is allowed to move across one or more empty spaces.

A piece or stack that is surrounded on all 6 sides may not be moved.

Single DVONN pieces can not be moved, but stacks containing a DVONN piece can.

==Losing pieces==
Pieces and stacks must somehow remain in contact with at least one DVONN piece to remain in play.

In contact means that there must always be a link (directly or through a chain of other pieces) with at least one DVONN piece. Otherwise the pieces are removed from the board at once.

All 3 DVONN pieces remain in play until the end of the game, even if one of them becomes isolated.

==Game end==
The players must play for as long as they can. If one player can’t make a move any more, the other must still continue if possible.

The winner is the player who controls the most pieces and stacks with a piece of his color on top. All pieces in the stack are counted independent of their color.
