How to Play

Tap the gap between two pegs to lay a glowing rail there. Complete the fourth side of any box to claim it in your color — and immediately move again, so one good chain can swing the whole game. When the board is full, whoever owns more boxes wins. Play hot-seat against a friend on one screen, or solo against the CPU — it grabs every free box you leave and avoids handing you easy ones, so watch which walls you touch.

Tips

  • Every rail you place that gives a box its third side is a gift — your opponent closes it AND moves again, often chaining into several more. Count sides before you commit.
  • Late in the game safe moves run out and someone has to open a chain first — when you're forced to, open the shortest one on the board so you give away as few boxes as possible.
  • Closing a box earns another turn, so map the chain before you start it: one entry rail into a long corridor of boxes can flip the score in a single turn.
  • Boxes on the board edges need fewer rails to complete than ones in the middle, so the edges are where accidental third sides happen first — check them before you assume a quiet-looking move is safe.
