Plan B: Second Best is a fast-paced abstract strategy game for two players. Place your pieces, block your opponent — and when things go wrong, invoke Plan B to force a do-over. HOW TO WIN • Get 4 of your pieces in a row around the ring • Or stack 3 of your own pieces on one space HOW TO PLAY Each turn, place a piece from your reserve onto any open space. Once your reserve is empty, move one of your top pieces to an adjacent or opposite space. Simple to learn — hard to master.

Use it wisely. GAME MODES • Casual — Plan B can cancel any move, even a winning one • No Mercy — Winning moves are final. Plan B cannot stop them VS COMPUTER Four difficulty levels from Easy to Expert. The Expert CPU uses deep search and will fight for every space on the board.
