There is very little to learn before your first run. The controls are listed in full in the table below — there are only a handful of them. It is built tall rather than wide — comfortable one-handed on a phone, centred and uncropped on a monitor. Expect the first attempt to be a write-off; that is normal here.

| Input | Action |
|---|---|
| Mouse | Select and drag pieces |
| Left click | Confirm a move |
On mobile: Tap and swipe directly on the screen. The game is built for portrait, so you can play one-handed without rotating your phone.
