Gameplay

Territory & Pieces

• Each player gets a 4*4 board and fits them together. This is each player's territory.
• Each player gets 3 pawns (one dot), 3 drones (two dots) and 3 queens (three dots) and places them in their territory. Colours don't matter.

Movement & Capture

• On your turn, move a piece in your territory. If you move onto an opponent's piece, you capture it.
• Pawns: Can move one space diagonally.
• Drones: Can move up to two spaces orthogonally (left or right but not diagonally).
• Queens: Can move any number of spaces in any direction.

Merging Pieces

• You can merge a drone and a pawn into a queen if you have no queens, and merge two pawns into a drone if you have no drones.

2-Player Rule

• In a 2-player game, your opponent may not “reject” your move; if one player moves a piece across the canal, the other can’t move it back to the same square it came from.

End of the Game

• The game ends when a territory is empty.
• Scoring: Each player scores 1 point for a dot on a piece they capture. The player with the most points wins.
• Tie-breaker: If there is a tie, the player who makes the move causing the game to end is the winner, regardless of points.
