Game description The player who scores the most points, wins the game. You can score points by eating your opponent's tokens (1 point each eaten token) or achieving a Connect 5 (5 points). Once any player achieves Connect 5, the round is over.

Rules The player who, at the end of all rounds scores more points, wins the game. If, during a round, none of the players scores a Connect 5 or if there are no more available free dots on the game board and it’s not possible to place or move any token, the round is over and the final score is calculated counting the tokens that have been eaten by each player. To score Connect 5, a player must have 5 of his tokens placed on 5 consecutive dots on the game board, without any obstacle.
