What you can do on your turn The first player to place a bridge tile on the board is the second player to play it, alternating on each turn. The first player to place a tile on the board may either place or remove a bridge tile, place or remove an over-bridge tile, or move a relief piece. Tiles cannot be placed in the middle of the board. Relief pieces may not return to the center once they have left it. Once a piece has reached the center, it may move to any place on the center (except for enemy relief pieces) on its turn. Rescue pieces can move only on polynomino tiles of their own color in straight lines (not diagonally). (They cannot move diagonally). When a rescue piece reaches a rescue piece, the rescue is successful and the piece is removed from the board and a point is scored. The monomino tile with the rescued piece removed becomes a normal bridge tile. You can also rescue an enemy rescue piece. Only in this case, it can enter the enemy's polynomino. Overbridge tiles can be placed on top of enemy polynominoes to cross them. It can also be hung diagonally across two polynomino tiles of its own color. Overbridged tiles (1 enemy tile or 2 of your own tiles) cannot be removed on your turn.

Scoring Rescued pieces are scored (3 points for the player and 8 points for the enemy from the center). Enemy rescued pieces can also be rescued (1 point). If you are the first to move up to the enemy's position, you score 5 points. After the enemy player moves up, the second player can continue to play for the number of pieces he rescued. If he is the second player to go up, he gets 1 point. If not, the player loses the game.

Expansion When a polynomino tile is placed in all five surrounding squares, the position is considered to have been reclaimed and expanded, and the six squares in the corner become the player's position.

Victory Condition If a player cannot move up to the enemy's position, he or she loses the game. If both players move up, the player with the higher total points wins. In the case of a tie, the first player to move up wins.

【手番に出来ること】 配置先手がプレー後手となります。1手番ごと交互にプレーをします。 手番に出来ることは、橋用ポリノミノタイルをボード上に配置する、取り除く、 オーバーブリッジタイルを配置する、取り除く、救援駒を動かすのいづれかです。 中州にはタイルを配置することはできません。一度出た陣地に救援駒が戻ることはできません。 中州に到達した駒は手番で中州上の自由な場所(敵の救援駒がいる場所を除く)に移動できます。 救助駒は自分の色のポリノミノタイルの上のみ縦横直線状に動くことができます。(斜めには動けません) 救援駒が救助駒まで到達した場合は救助成功で救助駒はボードから取り除き得点になります。 救助駒を取り除いたモノミノタイルは通常の橋タイルとなります。 敵の救助駒を救助することもできます。その場合のみ、敵のポリノミノ内に入ることができます。 オーバーブリッジタイルは敵のポリノミノの上に置いて渡ることができます。 自分の色のポリノミノタイルの2つにまたがって斜めに掛けることもできます。 オーバーブリッジを置かれたポリノミノタイル(敵タイル1個、または自分タイル2個)は手番で取り除くことができません。

【得点】 救助した救助駒が得点となります(中州より自分側3点、敵側8点)。敵の救助駒も救助できます(1点)。 敵の陣地に先に上がれば5点を獲得します。 敵プレーヤーが上がった後、2番手プレーヤーは自分が救助した駒の数だけプレーを継続して行えます。 2番で上がれば1点獲得します。上がれなければ負けとなります。

【陣地の拡大】 対角のコーナー1マスが陣地ですが、周辺の5マス全てにポリノミノタイル(敵味方関係なく)が置かれた場合は、 陣地が埋め立てたれ広くなったとみなし、コーナーの6マスが上がりの陣地となります。

【勝利条件】 敵陣地に上がれなければ負けです。 両方上がった場合は獲得した合計点の多い方が勝ち。同点の場合は先に上がった方が勝ちとなります。
