Game Components: The game includes 1 game board, 9 white pieces, and 9 black pieces.

Starting Setup: At the beginning of the game, each player possesses 9 pieces, and the game board is completely empty. To determine the starting player, a coin toss is conducted in this fun Zhi Zhu Puzzle Board Mini Game.

Objective: The primary aim of the game is to capture or eliminate 7 of your opponent's pieces that are already on the board by forming chains of either 3 or 5 pieces in a row. These chains can be established in either a straight line (3 in a row) or in any circular pattern (5 in a row) in this fun Zhi Zhu Puzzle Board Mini Game.

Phase One – Placement: In this phase, players take turns placing their pieces one by one on any of the 24 vacant points within the smaller circle on the board. Chains can be created during this phase, and pieces can be removed accordingly in this fun Zhi Zhu Puzzle Board Mini Game.

Phase Two – Movement: After all pieces have been placed, players alternate turns sliding one piece at a time along the connecting lines to adjacent vacant dots. This is the phase where most chains are likely to be formed, and players continue moving one piece per turn until a winner is determined in this fun Zhi Zhu Puzzle Board Mini Game.

Capturing Opponent Pieces: If a player successfully forms a chain of 3 of their own pieces in a row along one of the eight straight lines, they immediately remove one of their opponent's pieces from the board. If a player creates a chain of 5 of their pieces in a row on one of the three circles, they immediately remove two of their opponent's pieces from the board in this fun Zhi Zhu Puzzle Board Mini Game.

Important Rules: It is not allowed to remove a piece that is currently part of a chain unless there are no other pieces to be removed. A player has the option to break up their own chain by moving a piece out from the chain, but they cannot move the same piece back to recreate the same chain on their next turn in this fun Zhi Zhu Puzzle Board Mini Game.

Winning the Game: A player wins the game when their opponent has only two pieces left on the board (for instance, when they have captured 7 of their opponent's pieces), or if their opponent is blocked and cannot make any more moves because all their pieces are blocked and no legal moves can be made in this fun Zhi Zhu Puzzle Board Mini Game.
