The Tasty & Tactical Clash for 2 Players!

To begin, place the four 3×3 tiles at random in a 6×6 grid. Each grid square has a vertical, horizontal or diagonal line.

The first player places one of his rings on an unoccupied square, and the line in that square indicates the direction in which the opponent must place his ring: vertically, horizontally or diagonally in line with the ring just placed. If the opponent cannot place a ring in this direction because every square in this line is occupied, he can place a ring in any unoccupied square.

If you manage to insert a ring between two rings belonging to your opponent – whether by placing your X piece in a square like this O_O or in a square like this OXX_O – you change these opposite rings to your color.

If the board is full and nobody has managed to create a row of five rings of their color, the player with the largest group of orthogonally connected rings wins.
