Step by step

- Choose which end to use.
- Draw only when no tile fits.
- Pass only with no legal tile and an empty stock.
How your actions work
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.
An example before you play
An open 4 accepts 4–2, leaving 2 open. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Consider the next action carefully.
Check this before moving on
You cannot ignore a legal match to draw. Compare the situation with the worked example. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
