How to play

  • The game board consists of six points in the form of a hexagon.

  • Two different coloured strings are distributed to two players. The players take turns to join any two points with their own strings.

  • The aim of the game is to force your opponent to complete a triangle of their colour. The points of the triangle must be three points of the hexagon.
