Fill the square target with seven pieces, without gaps or overlap. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Check the rules when you are unsure.
Step by step
- Drag a selected piece.
- Rotate in 45-degree steps or flip it.

Making selections and moves
Mouse/touch dragging and rotate/flip buttons. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.

Where a round can go wrong
