🎯 Objective

Capture more discs than your opponent by the end of the game. When the board is full or neither player can move, the player with the most discs wins!

📋 Basic Rules

• Black moves first - Always
• Place your disc - Only on highlighted green cells (valid moves)
• Flip opponent discs - Any opponent disc between your piece and another piece of yours gets flipped to your color
• Continuous line - Opponent discs must form an unbroken line between your discs
• All directions - Discs flip horizontally, vertically, and diagonally

⚫⚪ Disc Colors

✨ Valid Moves

A valid move must flip at least one opponent disc. The golden glow indicators show where you can legally move.

🚫 No Valid Moves?

If you have no valid moves, you automatically pass and the turn goes to your opponent. If neither player can move, the game ends.
