How to play

Choose an opponent (vs Computer / 2 players). Against the computer, choose Normal or Hard.
Black moves first. Small dots show where you can play.
Place a disc and every trapped opponent disc in a straight line flips.
If you cannot move, you pass. When neither side can move, the game ends and the player with more discs wins.

Tips

The four corners can never be flipped once taken — they are the best squares.
Squares right next to a corner can hand your opponent that corner, so be careful.
Early on, limiting where your opponent can move is often stronger than flipping many discs.
