Play One player plays with the two disks that have the red dots and the other player the two without. Decide who goes first in any convenient manner, turns then alternate. On a turn, you must, 1) Move one of your disks one space either diagonally or orthogonally onto an empty tile and then 2) Flip an empty light sided tile that is orthogonally or diagonally adjacent to the disk last moved or remove an empty dark sided tile that is orthogonally or diagonally adjacent to the disk last moved.

From this point on the disk is a dark sided disk and cannot be flipped back. - A dark-sided disk moves only on empty dark sided tiles and after the move you must remove an adjacent dark sided tile from the board.
