Stillwater Ring & Return

Make five. Leave a ring behind.

○ Ivory 0PlacementJade 0 ○

Select a point to begin. Hollow rings move; solid markers stay and flip.

THE ART OF LETTING GO

Fewer rings.
Closer to winning.

Take turns placing five rings each.
Slide a ring along a straight line, leaving a marker behind. Rings block your path.
Cross any consecutive markers to flip them. Land on the first empty point after them.
Make five of your markers in a straight line. Clear those five, then retire one of your rings.

If both colors form rows, the mover resolves first. Resolve all remaining rows before the other player's next slide.

Rules, controls & credits

Ivory begins. Before crossing markers, you may stop at any empty point. After crossing markers you must stop immediately. Rows longer than five offer a choice of five to clear. With 51 markers and no rows, most retired rings wins; equal scores draw. A player unable to slide passes.

Click a ring, then a highlighted point. Tab and Enter work on every point. Escape cancels selection. Suggest marks a legal action; Undo returns to your previous decision. Progress saves on this device.

New interface and simple heuristic opponent; this is not upstream's MCTS engine. Independent YINSH rules adaptation, no affiliation with its creators.
