HOW TO WIN

Make a four-in-a-line with your discs and/or your stacks (i.e. four-in-a-line when viewed from above).

GAMEPLAY OVERVIEW

Place four tiles together to form a diamond-like shape in the middle of the playing surface. Set the rest of tiles aside as a pool. Each player selects a colour. Take the 16 discs of your colour. Select a first player.

Players take turns during the game until, at the end of a player’s turn, someone has won (whether it’s their turn or not). On your turn, you will either stack, add, or move. If you can stack, you must stack; otherwise, you can choose whether to add or move.

Stack (mandatory): If at the beginning of your turn, two or more of your single discs are adjacent to one another, you must stack one of those single discs atop an adjacent single disc of yours. Your turn is done.

In Ampel (German for "traffic signal"), two players compete to make as many "traffic signals" as possible. A traffic signal is three consecutive discs in a line, in the formation red-yellow-green. The catch is that one player plays red, and the other plays green; the yellow discs are neutral, and never move — other than being removed upon formation of a traffic signal.

On your turn, you must perform the following three steps in order:

Move one of your discs.
Move one of your opponent's discs (except the one she just put into play).
Add one of your discs, but not in such a way as to directly create any traffic signals.

The movement rules on the triangular grid are as follows:

The disc moves in a straight line along the lines of the grid.
The number of spaces it moves is equal to the total number of discs in that line.
Each time the disc reaches an obstruction, it must change direction, as you wish (but not 180°).
