In Parallelo, each player starts with three pawns in each of six colors. Players take turns placing the pawns in indentations in a parallelogram-shaped layout on the wooden game board. Your goal is to create a parallelogram with four pawns of the same color — but since you have only three of each color, you need to make use of pawns placed by your opponent in order to do so. Whoever first creates three parallelograms wins.
