Game Objective

• Have the most tokens of your color on the board at the end of the game

Rules

• 2 player game, played on a 8 x 8 board with white and black disks
• Board starts with alternating black and white disks in the center four squares
• Black plays first
• Current player places a disk in a space adjacent to a disk of the opposite color so that at least one row (vertical, horizontal, or diagonal) is sandwiched by the current player's disks.
• All opposite colors in such rows formed by this action are 'flipped' to match the current player.
• This concludes a turn and the next player goes.
• The game ends when neither player can make a move.
• At this point, the pieces on the board are tallied and the winner is declared.

Future Work

• Build an AI agent so one person can play by themselves
• Add UI elements explaining the rules
