You are allowed to move in any 4 diagonal directions, as long as none of your other pieces occupy the space.<\/p><p>Once you\u2019ve made your move, the turn changes to your opponent.<\/p><h2>ELIMINATION<\/h2><p><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span>Should you move diagonally to a position occupied by your opponents piece, his piece will be eliminated and taken off the board.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><h2>THE BONUS METER<\/h2><p><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span>The Bonus Meter starts at 0.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p>For every standard movement you make, be it only movement or eliminating an opposing piece, you gain 1 extra step on the Bonus Meter. These Bonus steps can be used any time it is your turn. When using the Bonus steps, you reset your Bonus Meter to 0.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p>The maximum Bonus steps is 3. If you by the start of your turn have 3 Bonus steps, the Bonus Meter will be reset to 0 after you make your move, whether you choose to use them or not.<\/p><h2>USING THE BONUS STEPS<\/h2><p><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span>These steps give you the possiblity to travel vertically or horizontally (4 directions ) BEFORE you make your standard move. You may only move to free squares, without jumping over other pieces, using bonus steps.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p>When using the bonus steps, you have to use the full amount, on one piece.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p>For example: You have 3 Bonus steps when it becomes your turn. You take 3 steps in a vertical or horizonatal line (4 directions) where there are no other pieces in the way (not 1, or 2 steps, but the full amount you\u2019ve acquired), and end you move with a standard movement (still with the same piece, in any 4 diagonal directions), eliminating a opposing piece with a diagonal step.<\/p><h2>WINNING<\/h2><p><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span>Eliminate all 6 pieces of your opponent, or reach his short-side with any of your own pieces, be it with movement only, or by eliminating an opposing piece still standing<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>there.<\/p><h2>DEVELOPMENT TEAM<\/h2><p>Andreas Wieslander<br \/>Christian Wall<br \/>David Hammarstr\u00f6m<br \/>Stefan H\u00e4rnstr\u00f6m<br \/>Ulf Sj\u00f6str\u00f6m<\/p><\/div><\/section>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-15b09cd2 e-con e-atomic-element e-flexbox-base e-15b09cd2-657f617 \" data-id=\"15b09cd2\" data-element_type=\"e-flexbox\" data-e-type=\"e-flexbox\" data-interaction-id=\"15b09cd2\">\n    \t\t\t<h2 data-interaction-id=\"7dada23a\" class=\"e-heading-base\">Speaking with talent<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-49c9f98b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"49c9f98b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>I got in touch with a talented old friend, asking: \u201cDo you happen to know anything about NFTs, or adaptive audio?\u201d<\/p><p>I got a positive reply which started a brainstorming session.
