Link your stones to gain points. The object of the game is to gain the most points by forming links between your stones. Players take turns placing a stone. If the stone can be linked to any other friendly stone(s) in one of the eight directions (north, south, east, west, northeast, northwest, southeast, southwest), then a line of friendly pebbles is placed on all spaces along the paths connecting the stones. A connection cannot be made if an enemy stone lies along the path to the friendly stone. The score corresponds to the number of pebbles owned by each player. The game ends when there are no remaining moves. The player with the most pebbles wins.
