How to play the game
- Players battle to finish the game with more of their own pieces on the board than their opponent. The game is classed as finished when there are no spaces left on the board or there are no more possible legal moves for either competitor
- The Start: (press New Game to play)
Both players begin the game with two pieces on the board in the four centre squares. No two matching colours are connected vertically or horizontally so a miniature chequered pattern is made. In the typical set ups where it is black versus white the person using black chips must make the first move
Players will move alternately until they get to the end of the game and the winner is decided. This decision is reached by identifying which of the two opponents has the most pieces on the board.
