How to play Morabaraba

  1. Board: 24 points made of three concentric squares (outer, middle, inner) connected at their midpoints by four spokes. You and the AI each have 12 pieces.
  2. Placement phase: You and the AI alternate placing one piece per turn on any empty point, until all 24 pieces are down.
  3. Forming a mill: If 3 of your pieces line up along one of the board's 16 straight lines, that's a "mill" — you immediately capture and remove one AI piece.
  4. Movement phase: Once all 24 pieces are on the board, slide one piece per turn to an adjacent connected point. Forming a mill this way captures again.
  5. Flying: If you are reduced to 3 pieces, you gain a comeback power: move any piece to any empty point on the entire board.
  6. Win condition: Reduce your opponent below 3 pieces or block all their legal moves to win!
