Rules
The rules are as follows:
- Players take turns placing one stone of their color on the board.
- Once a player connects all three sides of the board, the game ends and that player wins. The corners count as belonging to both sides of the board to which they are adjacent.
The simple (regular) form of Y can be played by email, using Richard Rognlie's Play-By-eMail Server.
As in most connection games, the size of the board changes the nature of the game; small boards tend towards pure tactical play, whereas larger boards tend to make the game more strategic.
