How to play

Goal

Finish with more discs of your colour when neither player can move.

What makes a move legal?: The new disc must bracket at least one straight line of opposing discs against another disc of your colour.
Which discs flip?: Every opposing disc bracketed along a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal line flips to your colour.
What if I have no move?: You must pass when no legal bracket exists. the game continues unless the other player also has no move.
Why are corners valuable?: A corner can never be bracketed, so its disc is permanently stable and often anchors stable edge discs.
Is flipping the most always best?: No. Strong moves restrict the opponent's legal choices and avoid giving away corners.
