1. The game is played by two players, each having three pieces, which start the game on the edges, again as in the diagram.
2. Players decide between themselves, at random or by agreement, who will move first.
3. Each player in his turn moves a piece from its point, along a marked line, to an adjacent empty point.
4. There is no jumping as found in other games, nor is there capture.
5. The game is over when one of the players is trapped and cannot move. His opponent is declared the winner.
