Take turns placing pieces on an empty board, none adjacent to a friend. When all are placed, take turns moving a piece. If you complete a line of three adjacent pieces, remove the last piece moved by the opponent. No displacement capturing, no checks. Win by getting five in a row or capturing all but two of the opposing units. V R Parton, 1970.
