Hole Drop穴落とし
One square is dead: nothing can land on it or count through it.
Our version of the dead-square four-in-a-row variant.
Inspired by Connect Four. The name belongs to its owner; this is our own version of the rules.
Also known as Blackhole Four in a Row.
Object目的
- Be the first to make a line: 4 or more in a row wins.
Board盤
- A square board of 7, 9, 10 lines; 7×7 by default.
- One square, chosen at random when the game starts, is dead: nothing can land there and no line runs through.
Play手順
- Players take turns placing one stone on an empty point.
- A stone played anywhere in a column falls to the lowest empty point in it.
- A full board with no line is a draw.
House rules細則
- Either colour may open, or the first stone may be drawn by lot.
- The threat reading, hints and the chance-of-winning bar apply.
- 7×7 or 9×9. The hole is never on the bottom row.
