cephalopod
Players take turns adding dice of their own color to the board, one die per turn. A newly placed die must
show a one, unless its a capturing placement, in which case it must show a two or higher.
If a die is placed horizontally or vertically adjacent to two dice, and the sum of
the pip counts - number of spots on the top surface of a die - on those two adjacent dice is six or less, then
the currently played die must show the pip sum of its two adjacent dice, and the player must remove those
two adjacent dice from the board immediately, while it is still his turn.
If a die is placed adjacent to three or four dice, and if two, three, or four of its adjacent dice have a
pip sum of six or less, then two, three, or four of those adjacent dice (whose pip sum is six or less) must
be removed, and the played die must show the pip sum of the removed dice.
Captures are mandatory only when placing a die onto a square from which captures are possible.
A player can make a non-capturing placement simply by adding a die to a square from which no captures are
possible. A non-capturing placement must show a single pip.

Sumario de regras
Game Play
Players take turns adding dice of their own color to the board, one die per turn. A die can be placed on any empty field.
Capturing
When placing a dice, any set of dice which consists of
- two or more dice
- all of which or orthogonally adjacent to the dice which was just placed
- with a total sum of 6 or less eyes in the set of dice
can be captured.
If there is such a set, the placing player must choose one, remove all the dice in the captured set from the board and set the new dice such as to show the number of eyes that where just removed.
If there is no such set, no dice are removed and the new die shows a 1.
Game End
The game ends when the board has been completely filled. The player with the larger number of dice wins.
