The purpose of your moves
Fill the square target with seven pieces, without gaps or overlap. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Check the rules when you are unsure.
From the start of a round
- Drag a selected piece.
- Rotate in 45-degree steps or flip it.
- Use snapping for precise alignment.
- Check the layout or use one-piece assistance.
Making selections and moves
Mouse/touch dragging and rotate/flip buttons. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.
See the idea in action
The parallelogram may need flipping rather than rotation. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Check the stated objective.
Watch out for this
Overlaps do not count as filling the target. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
