How to play
- Each side has 14 marbles. Black moves first. The aim is to push six of your opponent's marbles off the edge of the board.
- Moving: move one, two or three of your marbles that sit side by side in a straight line, one step in any direction. Moving along the line is an "in-line" move. Moving sideways is a "broadside" move: every marble steps into an empty cell.
- Pushing: an in-line move can push opposing marbles if you have more marbles than they have in a row: 2 can push 1, and 3 can push 1 or 2. The cell behind the pushed marbles must be empty (or the edge). A marble pushed off the edge is out of the game.
- You can't push if the opponent's marbles are as many as yours, or if one of your own marbles (or theirs, beyond the line) is behind them.
- How to play: tap one of your marbles, then tap neighbouring marbles in a line to add them (up to three). Glowing circles show where the group can go. Tap one to move. A ring on an enemy marble means you can push it.
- If nobody scores for a very long time, the game is a draw.
