How it works
Three rules. That’s the whole game.
Connect your edges
Blue links the top edge to the bottom. Red links the left edge to the right. First to connect wins.
Swap for fairness
After the first move, the second player may swap sides — so opening strong is never a free win.
Server-refereed
Every move is validated. No disputes.
Reconnect-safe
Refresh or drop out — return to the same match.
Keyboard accessible
Play the whole board without a mouse.
