Gameplay
The two players, Red and Blue, alternately place pieces on the intersections of the board until each has placed fifteen. Thereafter they alternate turns sliding a single piece along a line to an adjacent vertex. The object is to place pieces on the six vertices of a white hexagon or a hexagon of one's own colour.
If a player forms a triangle, he is entitled to relocate one enemy piece. If a player forms a square, he may relocate two enemy pieces. Forming a triangle and a square simultaneously allows one to relocate only two enemy pieces.
Normally, whoever makes the first triangle or square is almost assured of being able to scatter the opposing pieces and win without difficulty. What depth the game does contain revolves around being first to begin scattering. The placing and movement of pieces is reminiscent of Nine Men's Morris.
