How to Play

Board Layout

Focus on the blue grid lines that divide the board into sections

The 10x10 Grid

The game board is a 10×10 grid containing 100 cells where you can place pins.

Blue Grid Lines

The board is divided by blue grid lines into 9 sections (3×3 arrangement). These lines are crucial for scoring bonuses with certain patterns.

Section Centers

Each of the 9 sections has a center point. Placing 2×2 squares at these centers awards double points (8 instead of 4).

Initial Board Layout

Game Interface

How to select pins and place them on the board

Your Hand

At the bottom of the screen, you'll see your hand of colored pins. Tap a pin to select it.

Placing Pins

After selecting a pin from your hand, tap any empty cell on the board to place it there.

Score Display

Your current score and your opponent's score are shown at the top. The active player's score is highlighted.

Undo Button

You can undo your last move using the undo button. Use it strategically to improve your position.

Pin Placement

Pin types and basic placement rules

Pin Colors

There are 4 pin colors: Red, Green, Purple, and Yellow. Each color scores independently.

Joker Pins

Joker pins (multicolored) can be placed as any color. After placement, they turn black and count as that color for scoring.

Dress Pins

Four "dress pins" are pre-placed on the board at the start of the game. These cannot be moved and serve as starting points for scoring.

Placement Rules

You can place a pin on any empty cell. Strategic placement near pins of the same color maximizes your score.

Line Patterns

Scoring with straight lines (1-6+ pins)

Horizontal, Vertical, and Diagonal Lines

Pins of the same color in a straight line (row, column, or diagonal) score points.

Scoring Table

  • 1 pin: 1 points
  • 2 pins: 2 point
  • 3 pins: 3 points
  • 4 pins: 4 points
  • 5 pins: 5 points
  • 6+ pins: 10 points (plus reversal bonus)

Multiple Lines

A single pin can score in multiple lines simultaneously (horizontal + vertical + diagonal).

Scoring Patterns

Square Patterns

2×2 squares score 4 points, or 8 in section centers

2×2 Squares

Four pins of the same color forming a 2×2 square score 4 points.

Section Center Bonus

If a 2×2 square is centered on a section center (where blue grid lines intersect), it scores 8 points instead of 4.

Combining Patterns

Pins in a square can also score for lines, so strategic square placement can yield high scores.

Square Patterns

Cross Patterns

Plus-shaped scoring (5 points, or 10 on blue grid lines)

Plus Pattern

Five pins of the same color in a plus (+) shape score 5 points.

Blue Grid Line Bonus

If the center pin of the cross is on a blue grid line, the cross scores 10 points instead of 5.

Cross Formation

A cross consists of a center pin with one pin directly above, below, left, and right of it.

Cross Patterns

Special Rules

Jokers turn black after use, 6-line reversal

Joker Transformation

When you place a joker pin, you choose which color it becomes. After placement, it turns black and permanently counts as that color.

6-Line Blackout

When you complete a line of 6 or more pins of the same color, all those pins turn black.

This blackout can dramatically change the board state and scoring opportunities.

Reversal Scoring

The 6-line still scores 10 points before reversing. After reversal, the pins may create new scoring opportunities in their new color.

Game Flow

Turn order and winning conditions

Turn Order

Players alternate turns. On your turn, select a pin from your hand and place it on an empty cell.

Hand Completion

After placing all pins from your hand, you receive a new hand of 4 random pins (including possible jokers).

Game End

The game ends when the board is full (all 100 cells occupied) or when no more moves are possible.

Winning

The player with the highest total score wins. In case of a tie, the game is a draw.
