Descend your pieces into the board. Capture all the pieces of your opponent(s).

It’s game mode with two completely different versions. Two-player version has 3 pieces used by each player, multiplayer uses 2 pieces, but per three players(!). It’s available only for players with substantive pieces.

Game order:[]

Lobby:[]
  • Player (only player with at least 2 substantive pieces can do it) creates a game, in its settings player chooses time control (2:0, 2:1, 3:0, 3:2, 4:0, 4:2, 5:0, 5:3, 6:0 or 7:0, as in all 2-players modes, for two-player version, or 1,5:0, 2:0, 2:1, 3:0, 3:2, 4:0 or 4:2 per player, as in multiplayer modes).
  • Or player with substantive piece(s) can join the game created by other player.
Start:[]
  • Side of each player is random. In multiplayer version, it’s random also and every player chooses his/her color of pieces (red/orange/turquoise/blue/green/violet).
  • You haven’t start position. You choose three (in two-player) or two (in multiplayer) pieces which you can use during the game. Their summar price must be 13 pawns or lower (two-player), 11 or lower (multiplayer).
  • Players with Supers (super abilities) on chosen pieces get extra 20 seconds to give Supers to certain pieces.
  • Players get extra time in seconds (number depends on time control) to make first move (drop).
Playing:[]
  • One of the players moves first, then another and third ones: this move order saves till the end of the game.
  • Pieces are placed in hand in the start, and player can drop any from them by placing it on any free square.
  • First move of all players must be a drop, but then you can move already placed pieces or drop another ones.
  • Substantive pieces cannot move to the square which was already occupied by them or other pieces of their side (except for capturing). This rule resets in multiplayer version if one player is eliminated.
Object of the game:[]

Player wins if his/her opponent(s) do(es)n’t have any pieces on the board & in hand.

Draw occurs if there is stalemate (no one piece can be dropped or moved because all squares to move are already passed & not available) or 64 full moves without any progress (capture).
