Gauss

One player chooses blue, the other red and thus his discs all have the same magnetic effect. Each player has 10 discs of his own colour and 5 of the opposing colour. Players alternate in placing a disc on an empty hex. The newly placed disc is called “Trigger” and influences discs in all 6 directions, always the nearest disc. If the influenced disc has the same colour, it is repulsed and moved until it encounters another disc or the border of the board. A disc of the opposing colour is attracted and moved next to the trigger. For 4 discs in a row you score points: discs in this formation are relocated to “gain” and “risk” areas and you score at the end fort for discs in the “gain” area of the board.
