If you put your opponent's piece with your own piece, the difference is more than 3 pieces, or if you take 5 pieces, you win. The method of pinching is the same as that of Othello, but it cannot be pinched diagonally. Also, if the piece at the corner or end can be moved, it can be taken. As for how to move, the moving range is displayed when you touch the piece. You can pick up two or more opponent pieces at the same time. The opponent can be selected from people / computers.
