The game is played on an empty 10x10 triangular hexboard. Each player drop a stone into an empty cell. The game is won by the first player to build a chain of stones of his color which connects the three sides of the playing field. Corner cells counts as belonging to two sides. After the 1st move, the 2nd player has the right to swap positions. This rule prevents the 1st player from playing to the center of the field at the first move and getting in this way a strong advantage.

This game is a direct descendant of the game Hex.
