For a shorter game, play to occupy a single enemy OCTI square. Setup Place game board between players, so that OCTI squares face each player. At the start, place one empty pod on each of the friendly OCTI squares. Each player holds four extra pods in reserve for future use. Arrows on the pods should be visible and always pointed toward the opponent.
Pods never rotate.
I. Insert a prong into a friendly pod. Reposition a prong in a friendly pod. Jump other pods, capturing them if desired. V. Bring a reserve or captured pod onto the board. A prong may only be added to your own pod.
