The rules, complete with example images, can be seen here: CLICK.

In summary, your goal is to unite your pieces into a single group (including a "group" of one piece). Each turn, you may take one of three actions:
* Move a piece any number of spaces in any direction (you can move other other pieces of any color, but not over walls)
* Detonate a piece (a circle removes itself and all of its neighbors, and an asterisk removes itself and all pieces in any direction you choose; a wall blocks either kind of detonation)
* Add two walls anywhere to the board

The first player to have all of his pieces in a single group wins.

The colors will move in the following order: purple, orange, green. After three players have joined, I will randomly determine which of my opponents chooses a color first, and which one chooses a color second. Then we'll take turns doing stuff until the game is over. ]:)

I'll sign on as second player, though this looks like it could quickly get too complicated for a poor, simple otter.  |;)

Tyla: we need more tys

Kenku has randomly been chosen to pick a color first. Selden will select one of the remaining two colors.

I guess I'll go with purple.  It seems to have more options open to it.

Tyla: Ty Ty ty Ty Ty Ty
Tyla: we need more tys
Selden: No, no, no. Then we'd need a tybreaker.

I take an orange asterisk and move it northwest to join some groups together.
