The game is viewed from above on a hexagonal grid. Players take turns selecting one of their pieces and moving it to an adjacent empty space or jumping it farther to an available space, according to the game's movement rules. A neighboring move creates a new piece, while a jump relocates the original piece.

After a move, opposing pieces next to the destination can change color. The objective is to control more spaces than the opponent when no useful moves remain or the board is filled. Progression is match-based rather than campaign-based; the main challenge comes from increasingly careful positioning and, where available, computer opponents.

Early moves should expand your presence without isolating pieces. Cloning into a nearby space increases your count, but a jump may be preferable when preserving a strategically important piece or reaching a strong edge position.

Look at the spaces that will be adjacent to your destination after the move, not only at the immediate gain. Avoid giving the opponent a cluster of easy captures, and protect mobility: a position with several legal moves is usually safer than a larger but cramped group. On crowded boards, calculate the likely reply before committing.
