1 hexagonal board, 14 purple balls, 14 turquoise balls and 2 spare balls.
Setup
Arrange the balls as shown on the box. Draw lots for colours. Purple always starts; players then alternate turns. Use the grooved side of the board so the balls move smoothly.
How to play
Make one move per turn, either moving or pushing. A ball moves one space in any of the six board directions. You may move one, two or three balls together in the same direction without separating them.
To push opposing balls, your line must outnumber theirs: three balls can push one or two, and two can push one. Equal numbers cannot push each other. A line of three opposing balls cannot be pushed, even by a larger group.
The first player to push five opposing balls off the board wins.
