Step by step

  1. 01

    Start from the center

    The classic opening has four discs in the middle — two each.

  2. 02

    Place a flanking move

    You may only play where at least one enemy run is sandwiched between your new disc and another of yours.

  3. 03

    Flip the line

    Every trapped enemy disc on that line flips to your color.

  4. 04

    Fight for corners

    Corners can’t be flipped — they’re the strongest squares on the board.

  5. 05

    Majority rules

    When neither player can move, the higher disc count wins.
