A fun logic/strategy game to play with your friends and family or against the sneaky robot characters.

Each player starts with 21 pieces of different shapes and sizes. The object of the game is to play as many pieces as possible.

The first piece played by each player must be placed in one of the boards corners. Each new piece played must be placed so that it touches at least one piece of the same color, with only corner-to-corner contact allowed—edges cannot touch. Edge-to-edge contact is allowed when two pieces of different players are involved.

To play, select your piece from your remaining deck and tap the board to place it. You can rotate, flip and drag your piece into place. Just tap the piece on the board for a handy way to rotate it into place. Pinch to zoom to get a better view.

You can form your strategy as you play. Do you play nice and find ways to weave between your opponents pieces, or deliberately try to corner them so they cant play in your space?

When a player cannot place a piece, he or she is out of the game. The other players continue as normal. The game ends when no one can place a piece.

If you get stuck, there is a handy hint button that will show you a shadow of a possible move. It might not be the best move...

The game is scored by how many squares remain in your un-played pieces. Each remaining square reduces your score by 1. Higher scores win, so try to play the bigger pieces. There are bonus points (+15) if you manage to play all your pieces, and an extra bonus of (+5) if you finish with the single square as your last turn. Maximum score is 100 including bonuses.

Typical game time is 15-20 minutes.

Play with 0-4 human players (you can just watch the robots if you want!).
