Below is a synopsis of the rules.

Introduction:
An adaptoid is a creature that constantly evolves to adapt itself to surroundings. To survive, it needs to be fed. Two players must confront their armies of adaptoids with the aim of eliminating the opponent. The aim of the game is to capture at least 5 enemy adaptoids. The first player who achieves this objective will win the game. A player may also win by capturing all opposing adaptoids. If no adaptoids remain on the board following a capture, then the player who last moved wins.

A Player's Move:
1. If you want, move one of your adaptoids. An adaptoid can move up to as many free spaces as the number of legs it has. It may not pass through occupied spaces. It can land on either an empty space or an enemy adaptoid as long as the attacking piece has at least one or more pincers. In that case, the adaptoid with the lower number of pincers is removed from the board. If both adaptoids have the same number of pincers, then both adaptoids are removed from the board. Captured pieces can be used again during the game.

2. Create a new adaptoid of your color OR add a leg or a pincer to one of your adaptoids on the board. To create an adaptoid, click on an empty position which is adjacent to one of your existing adaptoids. To add a leg or a pincer, click on one of your existing adaptoids and select from the available choices.

Feeding of Adaptoids:
Feeding is performed automatically after each turn. In order to survive, an adaptoid must be surrounded by at least as many empty spaces as it has extremities (combined number of legs and pincers). After a player's turn, all enemy adaptoids which cannot be fed are removed from the board. In this way, a player can strategically move and/or create an adaptoid adjacent to an opposing adaptoid causing it to starve and die at the end of the player's turn.
