How to play
- New? In the lobby's Solo section pick a level (Beginner to Master) and press Start practice. To play a person, press Find opponent.
- Black moves first. In practice you play Black.
- On your turn, press a highlighted cell to place a disc; every trapped opposing disc flips. Unmarked cells are not legal.
- With no legal move your turn passes automatically. When neither side can move, the game ends and discs are counted.
- At the end, press Play again (practice) or Back to lobby on the result screen.
Good to know
- Corner discs can never be flipped. Cells right next to a corner tend to hand the corner to your opponent.
- Online games have a thinking-time clock. Practice games have no time loss.
- Today's board pits you against the day's AI and ranks your disc lead. You can also watch live games from the lobby.
