The official
rules
are available from the publisher's web site. This is my
illustrated
interpretation of the official version. There is also a
longer guide
to
the game in narritive form, which includes some strategy and tactics.
Twelve stones for each player. The unmarked stone is called the Old Stone, the rest are called the 1-stone, 2-stone and so on. | |
Black moves first,
by
placing any stone on the board. After the first
move,
players alternate moving, either placing or removing a stone on the
board, according to these rules. When one player
cannot
make a legal move, he has lost the game. Rules:
|
Black's first move is the 4 stone at position 2. Red must respond with a stone added at position 6 or position 10 (4 spaces distant from black's move) |
Black removed the old stone at position 9. Red responded by removing a 1-stone at position 8. Black must now add a stone at position 9 or remove a stone from position 7.
|
Red removed the old stone at positoin 3. Black responded by removing the 1-stone at position 4. Red must now add or remove a stonw at position 3 or position 5.
|
Red has added a 1 stone at position 8. Black must add or remove a stone at position 7 ot 9, buy since red occupies both, black cannot move and has lost. |
Black has removed the old stone from position 1. Red must remove a stone closest to the old stone, but since he has no stones on the board he cannot move and has lost. |
Red has removed the 2-stone from position 2. Black must add or remove a stone at position 4 or position 12, but since red occupies both, black cannot move and has lost. |
