  1. Be the first to have 18 pieces on the board. If both reach 18 at once, the player who placed wins.
  2. White and Black take turns placing a piece on any empty square. White goes first.
  3. 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.
  4. The piece you placed always stays.
  5. On Black's first turn, Black may take White's piece instead of placing one. It turns black, and White moves next.
  6. 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.
