How It Plays

Pattern Building

You arrange pieces to create specific patterns that score points — like solving a colorful puzzle.

About This Game

Intercardinal Yavalath is an asymmetric N-in-a-row game. Players take turns placing pieces on an 8x8 board. The first to make a row of 4 contiguous pieces of their colour orthogonally wins, but a line of 3 pieces diagonally loses.
