Overview

• The first player starts the game by placing a piece from their hand onto a square on the outer edge of the board.
• Players then take turns to place pieces in unoccupied spaces.
• Each piece dictates where your opponent must play next:
  • Straights: same row or column
  • Diagonals: in a diagonal line
  • Pusher: not adjacent
  • Puller: adjacent
• If there are no spaces where you can legally play, you must pass.
  • Your opponent is now free to play in any empty space.
• Score a point for each line of three pieces of your colour.
  • A line of four counts as two overlapping lines of three, so scores two points.
• The game ends when a player cannot play because they have no more pieces.
