The players take turns, black starts.
On their turn, each player chooses from one to three marbles of their color that lie in a straight line and moves them one cell in a choosen direction. Each direction is labelled from0 to 5 .
The directions:
The marbles can be moved only into empty cells.
If the direction of the move is parallel to the line of marbles, the move is called an in-line move.
Sumito
When the player's in-line move is blocked by enemy marbles, the player might sometimes apply a Sumito move.
If the length of player's marbles column is strictly longer than the number of enemy marbles in a consecutive line in that direction and after the enemy marbles' line there is an empty space or the end of the board, the player may still apply an in-line move and push the enemy marbles.
If the last marble of the pushed enemy column gets pushed out of the board, the marble is then removed.
