An eight-pointed star pattern surrounding a single central point.

HOW TO PLAY
1

Place four pieces of each color on alternating outer points, leaving the center point empty.

2

On your turn, move one piece along a connecting line into an adjacent empty point, including the center.

3

A piece may only move into the center point if it is currently next to a piece already occupying an outer point adjacent to the center, per the traditional blocking rule.

4

There is no jumping or capturing; the game is won purely through position.

5

Continue alternating single-step moves along the board's lines.

6

A player wins by trapping all of the opponent's pieces so none of them can make a legal move.
