HOW TO PLAY

NO TUTORIAL WALL. THE BOARD TEACHES AS YOU TOUCH IT.

SOW

Pick one of your six pits. One bead drops into each pit counter-clockwise, including your store. The opponent's store is skipped.

CAPTURE

If your last bead lands in an empty pit on your side, you capture it and every bead directly opposite. Hover a pit to see the opposite pit turn magenta.

GO AGAIN

Land your last bead in your own store and you take another turn immediately. Chain store landings into captures.

YOUR STORE ← SOW COUNTER-CLOCKWISE → OPPONENT STORE
