Focus on the blue grid lines that divide the board into sections
The game board is a 10×10 grid containing 100 cells where you can place pins.
The board is divided by blue grid lines into 9 sections (3×3 arrangement). These lines are crucial for scoring bonuses with certain patterns.
Each of the 9 sections has a center point. Placing 2×2 squares at these centers awards double points (8 instead of 4).
How to select pins and place them on the board
At the bottom of the screen, you'll see your hand of colored pins. Tap a pin to select it.
After selecting a pin from your hand, tap any empty cell on the board to place it there.
Your current score and your opponent's score are shown at the top. The active player's score is highlighted.
You can undo your last move using the undo button. Use it strategically to improve your position.
Pin types and basic placement rules
There are 4 pin colors: Red, Green, Purple, and Yellow. Each color scores independently.
Joker pins (multicolored) can be placed as any color. After placement, they turn black and count as that color for scoring.
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.
You can place a pin on any empty cell. Strategic placement near pins of the same color maximizes your score.
Scoring with straight lines (1-6+ pins)
Pins of the same color in a straight line (row, column, or diagonal) score points.
A single pin can score in multiple lines simultaneously (horizontal + vertical + diagonal).
2×2 squares score 4 points, or 8 in section centers
Four pins of the same color forming a 2×2 square score 4 points.
If a 2×2 square is centered on a section center (where blue grid lines intersect), it scores 8 points instead of 4.
Pins in a square can also score for lines, so strategic square placement can yield high scores.
Plus-shaped scoring (5 points, or 10 on blue grid lines)
Five pins of the same color in a plus (+) shape score 5 points.
If the center pin of the cross is on a blue grid line, the cross scores 10 points instead of 5.
A cross consists of a center pin with one pin directly above, below, left, and right of it.
Jokers turn black after use, 6-line reversal
When you place a joker pin, you choose which color it becomes. After placement, it turns black and permanently counts as that color.
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.
The 6-line still scores 10 points before reversing. After reversal, the pins may create new scoring opportunities in their new color.
Turn order and winning conditions
Players alternate turns. On your turn, select a pin from your hand and place it on an empty cell.
After placing all pins from your hand, you receive a new hand of 4 random pins (including possible jokers).
The game ends when the board is full (all 100 cells occupied) or when no more moves are possible.
The player with the highest total score wins. In case of a tie, the game is a draw.
