Setup: Charisma can be played on various sized boards. A 6x6x6 or 7x7x7 hex hex board is recommended. Each player has a plentiful amount of their own colored pieces.
Goal: The player with the largest group wins. If tied then another equal or second largest group wins etc...
Turn: Place one of your pieces on the board or strike with one already placed. If you cannot do either then you must pass. Passing is otherwise not permitted.
Place:
one stone anywhere on the board not adjacent to any other stone.
Strike:
The striking stone moves in a straight line and may not pass through any other stone.
The strike value must be equal to the number of stones in the target group.
strike value = number of spaces moved + number of stones in the group(s) adjacent to the departed space.
Upon striking, the target group is converted to the color of the striking stone.
End: when both players consecutively pass or when it’s clear who will have the biggest group.
