Read the full game description

Each player in turn places a stone on the playing field on any free tile of their choice. Players can gain points during the game by ending a row and at the end of the game for each row of 4 or more stones of their own colour. The player with the most points wins. There is also a game variant with bonus points for the experienced player. Ihr legt abwechselnd einen Spielstein auf ein freies Feld des Spielfeldes. Immer wenn ihr dadurch eine Reihe komplettiert, bekommt ihr sofort Siegpunkte. Am Spielende erhaltet ihr zusätzliche Siegpunkte, für jede Reihe in der 4 oder mehr eigene Spielsteine auf direkt benachbarten Feldern liegen. Für erfahrene Spieler gibt es auch noch eine Variante mit Bonuspunkten. Sur le plateau de jeu variable, les joueurs posent à tour de rôle une pierre sur une case libre. Les joueurs gagnent des points pendant le jeu lorsqu’ils ferment une rangée et à la fin du jeu ils reçoivent des points lorsqu’ils ont aligné 4 pierres ou plus de leur couleur. Celui qui obtient le plus de points remporte la partie. Pour les joueurs avancés, il y a aussi un jeu avec des points bonus. Op het variabele speelveld leggen de spelers om de beurt een steen op een vrij legveld. Zij verdienen tijdens het spel punten voor het afsluiten van een rij en aan het eind van het spel punten voor 4 of meer stenen op een rij van de eigen kleur. Wie de meeste punten haalt, wint het spel. Voor de liefhebbers is er ook nog een spel met bonuspunten.
