Assembly Instructions

This model requires four 0.3×6×15 springs. When printing, I’ve found that using tree‑like supports can significantly simplify removal and improve print quality—feel free to experiment with different placement angles and orientations based on your own experience.

Basic Rules and Winning Objectives

1. Game Objective: Each player uses a distinct color of piece. The goal is to strategically arrange your pieces on the board so that you form a line of four in a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal alignment—this constitutes victory.
2. Board Features: The game board measures 4×4 and is divided into an inner and outer section. The inner board is a 2×2 “field” grid, while the outer board is a “mouth” shape with four sides, each consisting of four squares, nested around the outer perimeter.

Turn‑by‑Turn Gameplay Steps (“Move, Place, Rotate”)

Players take turns, with each turn requiring the following three steps to be completed in sequence:

1. Move (Optional): Players may choose to relocate one of their opponent’s pieces to an adjacent empty space—either horizontally or vertically. This step is optional; players are also free to skip moving any pieces altogether.
2. Place (Mandatory): Each player must place one of their own pieces onto an empty square on the board.
3. Rotate (Board Rotation): Players press the central button on the board, causing all pieces on the board to shift positions. All pieces on both the inner and outer boards rotate one square counterclockwise—meaning the inner and outer rings each complete a full rotation in opposite directions.
