ルールはとても簡単。「相手の駒を挟む。そして王を敵陣に入れる」 しかしシンプルなだけにやればやるほど奥が深く、非常に頭を使います。 2人から4人で遊ぶことができます。 This game is the easy rule which just catches partner's piece. But as it is done, it's more profound, and you use your head very much. And it's possible to play with 4 people from 2 people.

A fresh take on board games combining Reversi’s “sandwich and flip” mechanics with tetromino-based strategy. Rotate and place the given pieces each turn to trap and flip your opponent’s color in one move. Enjoy both the satisfying chain reversals and deep tactical play in short matches. Perfect for local multiplayer on a single device. • Rules If you sandwich your opponent’s color in any row of the placed piece, all pieces in between are flipped to your color. If no moves are available, your turn is skipped. The game ends when the board is filled or neither player can make a move. • Features Control the board with shapes: a new fusion of Tetromino × Reversi strategy Simple controls with satisfying flip effects Quick matches for short play sessions Local multiplayer and bot matches
