How to play

  1. Place your men

    You are red. Take turns with the computer to place nine men each, tapping any empty point on the board.

  2. Make a mill

    Three of your men in a straight line on the board make a mill. Each time you make one, you remove one of the computer's men, if it is not itself in a mill.

  3. Slide and fly

    Once all men are placed, slide a man along a line to the next empty point. If you are down to three men, you can fly to any empty point. You win when the computer has two men left, or cannot move.
