What is it about?
Two players sit at a hexagonal board with recesses into which 14 white and 14 black balls are placed. Players take turns pushing their balls to eventually push the opponent's 6 balls off the board. You push 1, 2, or 3 of your balls (which are in a line) forward, u, or sideways, where my 2 balls can push my opponent's 1 ball, my 3 balls can push my opponent's 2 balls.
And that's almost all the rules!

Why is this game so adorable?!
- On the one hand, the game looks simpler than GO, but on the other hand, it has a lot in common with it! Also, like GO, it's a lot of fun to work with, with extremely carefully designed game elements. The balls are hard and pushing them into new holes is a lot of fun!
- You can play the game for hours. Games can last anywhere from 30 minutes to several hours! It all depends on the tactics you choose and the way you play.
The heavy balls and recessed board make the game perfect for a train or even a yacht! The swing does not make a big impression on her, the balls sit firmly in their "sockets".
