Players move alternately by placing one peg at a time on the board. Pegs may be placed in any empty peg hole except in the opponent's border row.
When a player can link two or more pegs, a barrier is formed between them. To win, a player must connect his borders (at opposite ends of the board, either from left to right, or top to bottom) with an uninterrupted chain of linked pegs. If neither player can complete such a barrier, the game is a draw.
