Tactical briefing

Know the board. Own the match.

How to Play

  1. 01Move one stone to an adjacent empty point along a drawn line.
  2. 02If any capture is available, you must capture instead of making a quiet paika move.
  3. 03Capture by approaching an enemy line or withdrawing from one; when both work, choose one direction.
  4. 04Continue with the same stone to chain captures, without revisiting a point or repeating the same direction.

Winning Conditions

Capture every opposing stone, or leave your opponent with no legal move. Capture chains may be ended after any successful step.

Fair play, pure skill

Fanorona is matched by skill, protected by anti-cheat, and decided by strategy — never luck.
