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.
Controls
Mouse/touch dragging and rotate/flip buttons. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Look at the feedback after the action.
A useful example
The parallelogram may need flipping rather than rotation. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Take a moment to compare.
An important reminder
Overlaps do not count as filling the target. A different version of the game may use a different rule. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
