(cont. from 10/14)  [12/21]
allowing for an 8 game. The odd side is  <br>
13 x 13, allowing for a 9 game. <br>
The O can be added at the left of the  <br>
1. It cannot move, but a player can tap <br>
it to get out of making another move. <br>
Object of the game is to eliminate the <br>
opponent. In case of pieces remaining  <br>
they can't capture each other, high point value wins. (I believe). <br>
[Diagram of 2 square grids. One 4 x 4 (labelled 'for 2'), the other 6 x 6 (labelled 'for 4'). The smaller grid has 2 squares labelled with a "1" and 2 squares labelled with a "2". The larger grid has 4 of each labelled.]
Advanced versions permit addition. When a capture is <br>
made the capturing piece is put on top. The sum of the two <br>
pcs. (to a base 1 more than the high number) determines  <br>
the resulting move, casting out multiples of the base. <br>
(For example, with 4 the top number, a 3 lands on a 2. <br>
The move is 3 + 2 = 5, -5 = 0) (In the advanced versions, <br>
the 0's are always used.) Additional pcs. can be <br>
placed on top and the move is determined by the sum of <br>
all pcs. in the pile. <br>
A multiplication version is played similarly, with the <br>
product being determined in the proper bae. <br>
