Objective

Standard: First to remove 3 rings wins.

Blitz: First to form 1 row wins.

Setup

• Each player gets 5 rings (black or white).

• Players alternate placing their rings on empty intersections.

Turns (after setup)

• Place a marker of your color inside one of your rings.
• Move that ring in a straight line (any distance) to an empty space.
  • If you jump over a series of markers (any color), the ring must land in the first empty space of that line.
  • All jumped-over markers are flipped to the opposite color.
  • You may not jump over other rings regardless of their color.

Scoring

• If you create a row of 5 markers of your color:
  • Remove those 5 markers from the board.
  • Remove one of your rings from the board.
• If the pool of 51 markers runs out:
  • The player with the most rings removed wins.
  • If both players have removed the same number of rings, the game ends in a draw.
