The game is played on a hex board, which has 97 holes. The board is placed upright on a plastic base and all 97 holes must be filled with 97 pegs. The pegs have to be placed so that both ends overhang the same length on both sides of the board.
Each player sits on one side of the vertical board and before starting, each must secretly hang his red playing piece on one of the 97 pegs.
Each turn, a player now takes off 1 peg off the board and he is free to turn the board by 60 degrees before taking a peg off.
The 2 playing pieces are formed like a horseshoe and if the opponent takes off a peg with a horseshoe hanging on it, it will fall down to the next peg - or on the table, if none is below. Winner is the player who succeeds in letting the opposing horseshoe fall on the table.
