How to play

On your turn, do one of two things. Then hold the centre.

  1. 1

    Move

    Step one of your four pieces one square up, down, left or right.

  2. 2

    Shift

    Or slide a whole row or column one step. It wraps around the edge and carries everything on it, your opponent’s pieces included.

  3. 3

    Hold three

    Five objective squares form a cross in the middle. Hold any three at once and you win immediately.

Three rules keep every shift meaningful

  • Foothold

    You may only shift a line that holds one of your own pieces.

  • Line lock

    The line your opponent just shifted cannot be shifted at all, in either direction, on your next turn.

  • Opening

    The very first action of the game must be a move.
