Colony

Grow your pieces without crowding them.

Play Colony

How it plays

Be the first to have 18 pieces on the board. If both reach 18 at once, the player who placed wins.
White and Black take turns placing a piece on any empty square. White goes first.
Your piece changes the squares around it, corners included. A piece there touching four or more pieces, of either color, is removed. An empty square there touching exactly three pieces gets a piece, in the color most of them share.
The piece you placed always stays.
On Black's first turn, Black may take White's piece instead of placing one. It turns black, and White moves next.
If nobody has 18 after 80 turns, or the board fills, more pieces wins. If that is level, the bigger group of touching pieces wins. If that is level too, it is a draw.

Players: Two at one board, or one against the computer
Stage: Early. The rules may still change.

Play Four in a Row

How it plays

Take turns dropping a disc into any column. It falls to the lowest empty square. White goes first.

Words

Find the five-letter word in six guesses.

Play Words

How it plays

Type a five-letter word and press Enter.
A filled square: the letter is in the word, in that place. A bar underneath: it is in the word, somewhere else. A faded letter: it is not in the word.
After six guesses without it, the word is shown and the round is lost.
Play as many words as you like. No word comes back until you have seen them all.

Doubles

Join equal tiles and reach 2048.

Play Doubles

How it plays

Swipe to slide every tile as far as it goes.
Two equal tiles that meet join into one, worth both, and add to your score.
After each move a 2, or sometimes a 4, appears.
Reach 2048 to win, then keep going. The game ends when no move is left.

Ground

The square a piece stands on decides how it moves.

Play Ground

How it plays

Capture the enemy’s marked piece, or bring your own to the far row.
White moves first, then take turns moving one piece.
Move along rows or columns from +, or diagonally from ×, without jumping over a piece.
The marked piece moves one square, the others any distance. Any piece captures an enemy it lands on.
It is a draw after 30 moves each without a capture.
