Use numbered squares to capture your opponents pieces. If the number is higher than those surrounding it, they will be converted. There is a setting that allows you to choose whether or not to let diagonals be effected.

20th Anniversary Edition:

Some simple fixes to stop changing settings during gameplay, online leader board is now fixed to specific settings (no diagonal takings, set tileset), options now available via menu and increased font size for easier readability on larger resolutions.

QOL Update 2024:

The download appeared to be listing as insecure and was being blocked from downloading, so I've tried reuploading.
I have changed the dimensions of the default window again to be slightly bigger. I'll assume people have at least a 720 resolution at this point.
I also added an icon for the windows title bar.

New options for 2022:

Choose your colour: Each player can now pick out of 4 colours.
Play solo or local: No longer need to host with multiple accounts - can be played with one window/account for local multiplayer.
Single player: Now you can play Single player with highscores! Click the Single player option and upgrade your tiles from 'Iron' through the metals to 'Gold'. Uses set tileset x2 with non diagonal rule.
Set tileset: Starts with a set tileset of numbers that is shuffled, or can be set back to random in the previous versions.

Graphics have also been "updated".

(Set tileset is: 1 2 2 3 3 3 4 4 4 4 5 5 5 5 5 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 7 7 7 8 8 9 )
