Two rival forces struggle to push six opposing marbles off the board.

Gameplay

On a hex grid, players slide one to three marbles in-line or broadside, repositioning groups. Using sumito pushes, a larger contiguous line shoves a smaller opposing line toward the edge; first to push six enemy marbles off wins.
