What you need to achieve
Leave the opponent with fewer than three pieces or no legal move. Read that aim before choosing your first action. The example below illustrates a decision.
Making your moves
- Place nine pieces each.
- A mill of three permits one capture.
- After placement, move along an edge.
- With three remaining pieces, fly to any empty point.
How your actions work
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.
Follow the example
A piece in an opposing mill can be captured only when every opposing piece belongs to a mill. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Look for the relevant detail.
Avoid this misunderstanding
Only the defined lines count as mills, not any visual alignment. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
