How to Win:
Acquire more pieces than the opponent by the end of the game

How to play:
- Players alternate turns moving pieces between squares
- Pieces may be moved either horizontally or vertically
- A single move shifts all the pieces away from a given square
- Players can move pieces from any square on each turn
- The distance which pieces are moved must be the same as the number of pieces which are moved
- Pieces may not be moved onto an empty square
- Moves may 'bounce' off the edge of the board
- On the standard board (7x7), a player that creates a stack of 6 or more pieces removes those pieces for scoring
- The game ends when there are no available moves on a given turn

Features:
- Play against a friend or computer
- Game variants make it possible to experiment with different rule sets
- Auto save allows users to navigate away from the app and returned to the same game later
