	== ~~Objective~~ ==		==Setup==
	Push '''one opponent piece''' completely off an open edge of the board. The moment any opposing piece falls off the board into the abyss, the game ends immediately and the player who executed the push wins!

	~~== Setup ==~~		* One player commands the White pieces (moves first); the other commands the Brown pieces.
	* ~~'''Standard Setup~~ (~~Default~~)~~''': Pieces start automatically in~~ the ~~standard tournament opening configuration~~.		* Each player has 3 square Kings and 2 round Pawns.
	* ~~'''Free Placement''': Starting with White, players take turns placing their~~ 3 ~~Pushers [[File:Pushfight_white_king.png\|20px\|middle]]~~ and 2 Pawns ~~[[File:Pushfight_white_pawn.png\|20px\|middle]] onto any empty squares on their own half of the board before turn 1~~.

	== ~~Turn Sequence~~ ==		==Your turn==
	~~On your turn, you carry out two mandatory steps in order:~~

	=== 1. Move Step (Up to 2 ~~Moves~~) ===		On your turn, carry out two steps in order:
	* You may move any of your pieces (~~Pusher~~ or Pawn) across any number of empty squares ~~orthogonally~~ (~~horizontally or vertically~~).
			===1. Move Step (up to 2 moves)===
			* You may move any of your pieces (King or Pawn) orthogonally across any number of empty squares (like a chess rook).
	* Pieces cannot move diagonally and cannot jump over other pieces.		* Pieces cannot move diagonally and cannot jump over other pieces.
	* You may move two different pieces once, move the same piece twice, move only one piece, or skip ~~movement~~ entirely to ~~go straight~~ to pushing.		* You may move two different pieces once, move the same piece twice, move only one piece, or skip moving entirely by pressing '''Skip to Mandatory Push'''.

			===2. Push Step (1 mandatory push)===
			* You '''must''' execute exactly one push using one of your square Kings [[File:Pushfight_white_king.png\|20px\|middle]] / [[File:Pushfight_brown_king.png\|20px\|middle]]. Round Pawns cannot push.
			* Choose a square King and an orthogonal direction into an adjacent occupied square. That piece, and any unbroken line of pieces directly behind it (regardless of owner), is shoved exactly one square in that direction.
			* A push is blocked and illegal if the shoved line hits a side rail [[File:Pushfight_rail.png\|20px\|middle]] or an anchored piece [[File:Pushfight_anchor.png\|20px\|middle]].
			* If a piece is pushed off an open (unrailed) edge, it falls off the board and that push wins the game immediately!
			* If a player has no legal push available on their turn, they lose immediately.

			===The Anchor===
			Immediately after your push, the red Anchor [[File:Pushfight_anchor.png\|20px\|middle]] is placed onto the King that pushed. That piece cannot be pushed by your opponent during their next turn. The anchor transfers to your opponent's pushing King on their turn.

			==End of the game==

			* The game ends immediately when a piece is pushed off the board: the player who made the push wins!
			* If a player cannot make a legal push on their turn, they lose and the opponent wins.

			==Variants (table options)==

	~~=== 2. Push Step~~ (~~1 Mandatory Push~~) ~~===~~		* '''Starting Setup''' (Option 100):
	* ~~You~~ '''~~must~~''' ~~execute exactly one push using one of your square Pushers [[File~~:~~Pushfight_white_king~~.~~png\|20px\|middle]] / [[File~~:~~Pushfight_brown_king.png\|20px\|middle]]. Round~~ Pawns ~~cannot push~~.		** '''Standard Opening (Beginner)''' (default): pieces start in the standard tournament positions.
	* ~~Choose a Pusher and an orthogonal direction into an adjacent occupied square. The adjacent piece~~ (~~and any contiguous line of pieces behind it, regardless of owner~~) ~~is shoved exactly one square~~ in ~~that direction~~.		** '''Free Placement (Pro Variant)''': starting with White, players take turns placing their 3 Kings and 2 Pawns on their half of the board before turn 1.
	* ~~If a contiguous line encounters a side rail [[File:Pushfight_rail.png\|20px\|middle]] or an anchored piece [[File~~:~~Pushfight_anchor.png\|20px\|middle]], that push direction is blocked and illegal~~.		* '''First Player / White Team''' (Option 101):
	* ~~If a piece is pushed past an unrailed edge, it falls off the board and that push wins the game!~~		** '''Default (table order)''' (default): first player in table order plays White.
	* ~~If a player has no legal push available on their turn, they immediately lose the game~~.		** '''Table Creator''': table creator plays White.
			** '''Opponent''': opponent plays White.

	=== ~~The Anchor Piece~~ ===		==Controls on BGA==
	~~Immediately after executing your push, place the red Anchor [[File:Pushfight_anchor.png\|20px\|middle]] onto the pusher piece that just made the move.~~
	* The anchored piece is immune: it cannot be pushed by your opponent during their subsequent turn.
	* The anchor transfers to your opponent's pusher piece once they complete their push, liberating your piece.

	~~== Controls on BGA ==~~		* '''Moving''': click one of your pieces to select it, then click any highlighted legal destination square.
	* '''~~Movement~~''': ~~Click~~ one of your pieces to select it, then click any highlighted legal destination square.		* '''Pushing''': click one of your square Kings, then click the directional arrow pointing into the line to push.
	* '''Pushing''': ~~Click~~ one of your square ~~pieces~~, then click the directional arrow ~~indicator~~ pointing into the line ~~you wish~~ to ~~shove~~.		* '''Skip & Undo''': click '''Skip to Mandatory Push''' to proceed directly to pushing, or click '''↺ Undo Moves / Restart Turn''' to revert staged moves.
	* '''Undo''': ~~While staging your moves before~~ pushing, click '''Undo Moves''' to ~~take back~~ moves and ~~replan~~ your turn.		* '''Free Placement Setup''': click a piece button (King or Pawn) and click an empty square on your half of the board. You can also click '''Standard Preset''', '''Clear All''', and click blue '''Confirm Placement''' once all 5 pieces are placed.
			* '''Tooltips''': hover over Kings, Pawns, the Anchor ring, side rails, or turn counter for detailed role descriptions.
			* '''Preferences''': Sound effects (Preference 101, default: On).

==Overview==

'''Push Fight''' is a fast, purely abstract 2-player game of positioning and leverage. There are no dice, no cards, and no hidden information — every decision is visible to both players. Each side controls 5 pieces on a 26-square board split by a center line. On your turn you reposition your pieces, then '''must''' use one of your square pieces to shove an opposing piece (or a whole line of pieces) one space. Shove your opponent off either edge of the board and you win instantly.

==Goal==

Push '''one''' of your opponent's pieces completely off the board, at either end. The moment a piece falls off, the game ends immediately — it doesn't matter what the rest of the board looks like.

==The pieces==

Each player controls 5 pieces:
* '''3 square "King" pieces''' — these can move like the others, and are the only pieces that can push.
* '''2 round "Pawn" pieces''' — these can move freely, but can never push. They can still be pushed by the opponent.

Teams are '''White''' and '''Brown'''. All pieces move and push horizontally or vertically only — there are no diagonal moves or pushes, and pieces cannot jump over each other.

==Setup==

Depending on the table's "Starting Setup" option:
* '''Standard Opening (Beginner, default)''' — pieces are placed automatically in the standard tournament opening position.
* '''Free Placement (Pro Variant)''' — starting with White, each player places their 3 Kings and 2 Pawns anywhere on their own side of the center line before Turn 1.

==Your turn: 2 Moves, then 1 Push==

Every turn has two parts, in order:

'''1. Up to 2 moves.''' Move any of your pieces (King or Pawn) any number of empty, orthogonally-connected squares — horizontally or vertically, no diagonals, no jumping. You may move a different piece for each of your two moves, move the same piece twice, or skip moving entirely and go straight to the push using the '''Skip to Mandatory Push''' button.

'''2. 1 mandatory push.''' You must then push with one of your square Kings. Pushing shoves the piece directly in front of it one space in that direction — and if there's an unbroken line of pieces (yours and/or your opponent's) in the way with no gap, the whole line shifts one space together. Round Pawns can never push, only Kings can.

If you can't legally make a push at the end of your turn, you lose — always leave yourself a way to push.

'''Undo:''' while you still have moves or a push left to make, an '''Undo Moves / Restart Turn''' button lets you take back everything and restart your turn from scratch, as long as you haven't confirmed your push yet.

==The Anchor==

After your push, the piece that just did the pushing gets marked with the '''red anchor ring (⚓)'''. There is only one anchor, shared by both players. The anchored piece cannot be pushed on your opponent's very next turn — it's the one piece on the board that's temporarily safe. As soon as your opponent pushes with one of their own pieces, the anchor moves to that piece instead, and your previously-anchored piece becomes pushable again.

==The rails and falling off==

The board has 26 valid squares in a cross-like shape, with a raised '''side rail''' along part of each long edge (marked RAIL in the interface). Pieces cannot be pushed or moved off the board across a rail — those spaces are safe from that direction. The only ways off the board are through the open squares at the two narrow ends and the short unrailed stretches on the sides. Use this shape to your advantage: herd your opponent's pieces toward an opening, not away from one.

==Winning==

The instant any piece — yours or your opponent's — is pushed completely off the board, the game ends and whoever pushed it off wins. A player can also concede if they're hopelessly trapped with no legal push available.
