Placements
All placements are to unoccupied cells. A FRIENDLY CONNECTION is an adjacency between like colored stones. An ENEMY CONNECTION is an adjacency between different colored stones.
Red begins the game by placing a stone anywhere on the board. Then, starting with Blue, players take turns placing a stone which forms exactly one enemy connection and no friendly connections. See Figure 1.
Figure 1 - Red's turn. All of Red's available placements are indicated in green.
Object of the Game
The last player to place a stone wins.
* Footnote from the rule sheet: Drew Edwards found a solution on size 5, 7, 9... boards. Red starts in the center or a corner, and whichever direction Blue branches out, Red continues the branch in the same direction.
