♦ Compare your score against other players on the leaderboards (sign in is required).
♦ Import/export game on local and remote storage.
♦ Game engine performs multiple moves in case you have no valid place to go, due to the well known rule "If one player can not make a valid move, play passes back to the other player".

Game rules
Each player must place a new piece in a position that there exists at least one straight (horizontal, vertical, or diagonal) line between the new piece and another piece of the same color, with one or more contiguous opposite pieces between them.

Black color starts first move. When player cannot move, the other player takes the turn. When neither players can move, the game ends. The winner is the player that owns more pieces.
