Each player starts with 21 pieces : 1 monomino, 1 domono, 2 triominos, 5 tetraminos and 12 pentaminos. It may recall you the Tetris polyominos…
“For first round, I must place a piece so that it touches one of the corners of the board”
“Next, a piece must be placed so that it touches a corner of one of my own pieces.
It may touch several corners, but never any side/edge of my pieces!” Look at screenshots or at the video.

You can see opponent’s remaining pieces, by pressing corresponding tab.
The end of the game is reached when every player passes.
