The board is made up of 7 circles arranged in a hexagonal grid making up a large hexagon. Every other circle on the outer ring is coloured red. Although the board can be made up of Hexagons instead.

Equipment:

• White -- 6 flat light discs (Backgammon or Draughts pieces)
• Black -- 15 flat dark discs (Backgammon or Draughts pieces)

The white player must get 1 stack of six. The stack can be made up of black pieces as well as white pieces, or can be made up of just one colour. Even if the black player makes the stack, it still counts.

If white immobilises black, then white wins. Black must immobilise white.
