🧭 Starting Arrangement

• Black and white main pieces are placed side by side at the center of the board
  (Center: row 4/column 4 area)

Board example (C = Center / X = Pieces):

⏱️ Turn Order

Each player completes their turn in two moves:

1️⃣ Move the main piece 1 square
2️⃣ Place a blockade piece on a square

Move → Blockade → Turn passes to opponent

🕹️ Movement Rules

• The main piece moves 1 square horizontally, vertically, or diagonally
• Moves only to empty squares
• Cannot move to squares with blockade pieces
• Cannot move off the board

🚧 Blockade Piece Rules

• Placed after the main piece moves
• Can only be placed on an empty square
• Once a blockade piece is placed, it is never removed / moved

The board gradually fills up, movement areas shrink

❌ Losing Conditions

When a player's turn comes:

• If they cannot move their main piece → They lose
• If there are no empty squares to place a blockade piece → They lose

🔁 Draw & Special Cases

• If both pieces are trapped in the last move, the player who made the last move wins
• Deliberately incorrectly filling the board → game violation

🧮 Scoring & Set System

Tournaments generally:

• 3 sets
• The player who wins 2 sets wins the match

Set example:

First set: White
Second set: Black
Third set: White → White won the match
 

🧠 Strategy Guide

⭐ Basic Tips

• Try to stay in the center: options decrease in the corner
• Try to close off blockade pieces in a circular shape
• Unnecessary evasion → risk of being trapped
• Calculate opponent's possible moves in advance

🏹 Advanced Strategies

• Direct the opponent to a corner
• Do not leave the movement area fragmented
• "Honeycomb trap" strategy:
• . # .
  # X #
  . # .
   
• Separate your own piece with blockades, leave a way back

✅ Minor Rule Reminders

🎓 Beginner Scenario

Incorrect: piece always escapes to the edge → gets trapped
Correct: piece stays in the center, restricts opponent

Starting goal:
Close 3 directions around the opponent → close 1 direction with a trap

🎬 Example Game Opening

1. White: moves next to the center
2. Black: escapes diagonally
3. White: closes off one direction for Black
4. The game continues with gradual blockade

Just like in chess, there is an opening–middlegame–endgame logic
