Your turn. Choose a highlighted tile.
How to Play
Read the Highlights
On your turn, legal tiles glow on the board. If a tile is not highlighted, it will not flip enemy discs.
Place & Flip
Click a highlighted tile to place your disc. Trapped enemy discs in straight lines (horizontal, vertical, diagonal) flip immediately.
Track Turn Cues
Use the turn/status panel to follow passes, AI moves, and momentum swings so your next decision stays sharp.
Win the Galaxy
When no legal moves remain for both sides, the mission ends. The side with more discs controls the sector.
Play Online
Open Multiplayer — no account needed. Invite a friend with a room link, or tap Quick Match to find another captain who is looking for a game. The first player in a room is Black; the second is White. Sign in after a win if you want to save your captain profile.
Master the Strategy
Control the Corners
Corners are the most valuable squares. They can never be flipped back, giving you a permanent anchor.
Maximize Mobility
Keep your options open. A wide move set forces your opponent into predictable, weaker responses.
Secure the Edges
Build stable lines along the edges, but be careful! An unstable edge can be wiped out by a corner play.
Sacrifice Early
Don't be afraid to have fewer pieces early on. Positioning matters more than piece count until the end.
