How to Play
Choose Your Mode
Play versus AI at Easy, Normal, or Hard. Optional 2 Players mode uses the same device.
Place
Take turns placing one piece onto any empty intersection. Each side has nine pieces to deploy.
Move & Fly
Once all pieces are placed, slide along a line to an adjacent empty point. With exactly three pieces left, you may fly to any empty point.
Mill & Capture
Form a mill — three of your pieces in a row — then remove one opponent piece. You may not take a piece from a mill unless every opponent piece is in a mill. Win by reducing them below three pieces or leaving them with no legal moves.
Captain Tips
Build Double-Mill Traps
Set up two potential mills sharing a point. Alternating one piece between them forces a capture every turn.
Control Centre Crossings
The four middle-ring midpoints have four connections each — dominating them multiplies your threat directions.
Block Early
Spot a potential mill two moves away and occupy the third point before your opponent completes it.
Think Ahead on Capture
When you close a mill, remove the piece that dismantles the opponent's most dangerous future mill — not just any available one.
