MATERIALS
- A board marked with a 5x5 grid, or scratched into sand
- 12 flat stones each of two colors
HOW TO PLAY
1
Leave the center square of the grid empty and alternate placing stones in every other square around it until all 24 outer squares are filled.
2
Once the board is full, the player who did not place last moves first by sliding a stone into the open center square.
3
From then on, players take turns sliding one stone at a time into an adjacent empty square.
4
Capture an opponent's stone by moving so that it sits sandwiched between two of your own stones in a straight line.
5
A captured stone is removed immediately, and the game continues until one player has no stones or cannot move.
