How to Play
GOAL: Score victory points before your opponent by creating lines of 3 matching pieces.
BASIC RULES: • You have 3 pieces in hand (initially all level 1) • Tap a piece to select it, then tap an empty cell to place it • When 3+ same-level pieces align (row, column, diagonal), they award points • The number of points depends on the level of the figures, their number and combos
MERGING: • In hand: Tap two same-level pieces to merge them (level 1+1=2, level 2+2=3)
Tips
Start by familiarizing yourself with the merge mechanic—tap two same-level pieces in your hand to create stronger ones before placing them on the board. Don't rush to place pieces immediately sometimes holding back to create a level-3 piece can give you a significant advantage. Keep an eye on all rows, columns, and diagonals, as aligning three or more same-level pieces awards valuable points. Remember that positioning matters—try to set up multiple potential alignments to keep your opponent guessing.
Advanced Strategies
Focus on creating chain reactions by positioning pieces where they'll trigger multiple merges in a single turn—this maximizes your point output. Control the center and corners of the board early, as these positions offer the most alignment opportunities. Try to predict your opponent's moves two steps ahead if they're building toward a merge, consider blocking their alignment rather than just advancing your own position.
