How to Play — Rules v0.8

Goal: Finish with more points than your opponent. The site handles setup, legal moves, region closing, and scoring automatically.

  1. Take 3 actions on your turn. You may repeat an action if it is legal.
  2. Place Stick: choose Place Stick, then click an edge between adjacent hexes in the open region. The smaller side closes. If a non-final split is equal, you choose which side closes.
  3. Claim Colour: each player may claim up to 2 colours. Choose Claim Colour, then click a disc in any closed region. That disc is removed and its colour becomes yours.
  4. Subdivision: each player has 2 uses. Choose Subdivision, then place a stick inside a closed region. Both resulting parts stay closed.

Closing point: A normal closure scores 1 point if the newly closed region contains discs of at least 3 different colours. Claimed status does not matter. Subdivision never awards this point.

Game end: The game ends immediately when the remaining open region is split into two equal regions of 5 or fewer hexes each. Both close, and each is checked separately for a closing point.

Final scoring: Every closed region is worth 1 point to the player with more remaining discs matching their claimed colours in that region. A tie scores neither player. One-hex regions score normally.

Important: Once a region is closed, normal sticks cannot be placed inside it. Only Subdivision can modify a closed region.
