The game is played on a NxN board, say 8x8, with the following setup.
- MOVE - On each turn, each player moves one stone forward (Black moves north, White moves east) to an empty cell.
- PASS - A player can only pass if there is no move option.
- GOAL - (Patten gives 4 possible goals, I choose one) The first player to pass, loses.
Another possible goals proposed by Greg van Patten, are:
- Try to force your opponent to pass more times than yourself. The game ends when both players pass on consecutive turns.
- Try to give yourself more forced passes than your opponent. The game ends when both players pass on consecutive turns.
- The first player to pass, wins.
An example If Black moves the e3 stone to cell [1], White can only move to d3, and then Black moves to e3, stalemating White and thus, winning.
The game can be played with Ludii.
