OBJECT: When the game is finished, the player with the largest group of stones wins. In case of a tie, the winner is the player with the fewest number of groups.
OPENING: Black begins by placing 3 stones. White can choose whether to continue playing
as white, or switch to black by pressing the "pie slice" button to invoke the pie rule. Note: If the button is pressed, it becomes "grayed out" for the remainder of the game
in order to indicate that the pie rule option was taken, otherwise, the button disappears.
MOVING: On their turn, the player replaces 1 of the opponent stones placed in the last turn
(not the replaced one) with his own, and then continues to place 3 of their own stones.
GROUP:
A group of stones consists of a set of adjacent same-colored stones. The smallest group
is a group consisting only of a single stone.
ENDING: When at the conclusion of the turn for the player which is playing as white, there is a single
empty cell remaining, black concludes the game with a replacment. The game ends with an
unoccupied cell.
