Havannah

Basics

Two players take turns placing stones on empty hexagons. Blue moves first. The board is a hexagonal grid of size 10.

Pie Rule

After the first move, the second player may swap sides (taking ownership of the first stone) or keep their original colour. This balances the first-move advantage.

How to Win

A player wins by forming any one of these three structures:

Bridge

Connect two different corners of the board with a single connected group of your stones.
Fork

Connect three different board edges (corners don't count) with a single connected group of your stones.
Ring

Form a loop of your stones that encloses at least one cell not occupied by you, such that the enclosed area has no path to the edge of the board. The enclosed cells may be empty, opponent stones, or both.

Resign & Timeout

Either player may resign at any time, conceding the game. Each move has a 5-minute timer. If the timer runs out, that player loses.
