Overview

Place a cloud counter to trap sun counters in a straight line. Trapped counters flip to your side. Hold more counters than the computer when neither side can move.

Controls

Tap a marked square. Keyboard: arrow keys to choose a square, Enter or Space to place. Undo takes back your entire last turn.

How to play

  1. Tap a marked square. Keyboard: arrow keys to choose a square, Enter or Space to place. Undo takes back your entire last turn.
  2. Place a cloud counter to trap sun counters in a straight line. Trapped counters flip to your side. Hold more counters than the computer when neither side can move.

Scoring and rounds

Your final counters are worth 10 points each. Winning adds 100, 200 or 300 points for Calm, Clever or Expert. If one side has no legal move, it passes automatically. The match ends when neither side can move.

Play tips

Corners cannot be flipped. A move that captures the most counters now can leave the computer a strong corner later.

Common mistakes

Taking many counters early can give away a corner. Think about the computer’s next move before placing.

Taking a break

Use Pause or Esc to take a break, then select Resume. Switching tabs or windows also pauses a running game. Paused time does not count as play time.

Records and progress

Best scores, puzzle progress and settings are saved in this browser, without cross-device sync. Puzzle progress remembers which puzzle to start next; it does not restore unfinished boards or live rounds. Clearing site data removes records, and blocked storage may prevent new records from being kept.
