- 1 playing board with 2 sliding platforms
- 7 differently coloured sets of 5 playing pieces
Preparation
Place the sliding platform on the board. Set the point counters to zero.
Player A places the playing pieces randomly on the board. There must not be two pieces of the same colour next to each other in the same row. Places or rows can be left empty, no even distribution is required.
Player B chooses his platform.
The Game
The game is played in turns. In each turn the active player has to take at last action 1 and 2 of these three actions:
- Loading a piece on his platform.
- Unloading all pieces from his platform.
- Unloading all pieces from the opponents platform.
Loading a piece on your own platform
The active player can load 1-3 pieces on his platform. He can push the pieces from one row as a block or from several rows on the platform. Just move the platform next to a row and start push the piece directly next to the platforms entry onto the platform.
If there is a group of several pieces in ONE colour next to each other on the board, the group must NOT be separated by moving one or more pieces on the platform and leaving pieces of that group on the board. However, it is possible to move the WHOLE group onto the platform.
Example: there are three red pieces next to each other on the board. Player A moves his platform next to the outmost piece. He must NOT move only one or two red pieces, but he is allowed to slide all three red pieces on the platform.
Unloading your own platform
Players can unload one or more pieces in one or more rows of their choice by simply sliding one ore more pieces from the platform onto the board. If the platform hosts a group of pieces in ONE colour, the whole group has to be unloaded in one row.
If the target row does not provide enough room to accept all the pieces the player wants to unload, then pieces are pushed through onto the other players platform. If pieces are unloaded in several rows, then the opponents platform is moved along to accept all pushed through pieces. It is not allowed to separate groups of pieces in one colour by pushing through on the opponents platform.
Unloading the opponents platform
After a player has pushed through pieces onto the opponents platform, he has to unload the pieces on rows of his choice. NO pushing through on his platform again, the target rows have to provide enough space to accept the pieces.
After the opponents platform is unloaded, the players move is over.
Scoring
Each row with a group of five playing pieces in one colour scores one point for the player who finished this row. It does not matter if a player completes the row unloading pieces from his platform or from the opponents platform. Record the points using the point counters at the side of the board.
End of Game
Completing all rows ends the game, the player with the higher score wins.
