Annuvin is played on a 4x4 hexagonal board with 6 pieces per player arranged in opposite corners.

A stone can move up to N spaces in any combination of directions (it may even move over intervening stones), where N varies depending on the number of stones he has remaining:

• Six pieces: one space per turn
• Five pieces: two spaces per turn
• Four pieces: three spaces per turn
• Three pieces: four spaces per turn
• Two pieces: five spaces per turn
• One piece: six spaces per turn.

A stone captures an opposing piece by moving onto it. If a stone makes a capture before it has used all of the spaces available to it that move, it may continue to make additional captures until it has moved its limit.

The player who captures all of his opponent's stones wins. Also, if a player reduces his opponent to a single stone without losing any of his own he wins.
