- There are two players, who each need nine playing pieces. In class we use unifix cubes of two different colors, but at home you can use two different kinds of coins or checkers.
- Playing pieces can only rest on the dots. They can only travel along the lines. Each time a player gets three pieces in a straight line (a string), she gets to take one of her opponents pieces off the game board. She wins when her opponent has only two pieces left on the board.
- To begin, each player takes turns putting one piece at a time on one of the dots.
- When all the pieces are on the dots, players take turns moving one piece at a time along the lines to an empty, adjacent dot.
- Remember, each time you make a string of three pieces in a straight line, you get to take one of your opponents pieces. Play until one person wins! Good luck!
