The rules to get started

The proposed variant

Variant with three-piece flying; draw by third repetition or 100 moves without capture.

THE ESSENTIALS

How to Play

  1. White starts. Place nine pieces each, then move a piece to a linked adjacent point.
  2. Forming a mill (three pieces on a marked line) allows you to remove an opposing piece. A piece belonging to a mill can only be taken if all opposing pieces belong to mills.
  3. With three pieces, flying to any free point is allowed. Fewer than three pieces or no move after placing: loss.
  4. Friendly rule: draw on the third repetition or after 100 moves without a capture.
