Magnet

Theme

Race to the far corner.

Every stone moves exactly as many squares as it has neighbours — friend or foe. Crowd together to travel far, stand alone and stand still.

Player 1

Starts top-left, wins by reaching the bottom-right corner.

Player 2

How Magnet works

Board. 6×6. Four stones each, starting on mirrored diagonals.
Goal. Player 1 must land a stone on f1 (bottom right). Player 2 must land one on a6 (top left).
Movement. Count the occupied squares among the eight around a stone — that is exactly how far it moves, no more and no less.
Direction. Straight lines only: horizontal, vertical or diagonal. No turning mid-move.
Obstacles. Stones never jump. Every square along the path, and the destination, must be empty.
Stuck stones. A stone with no neighbours has a range of zero and cannot move at all.
Stuck players. If it is your turn and you have no legal move anywhere, you lose.
No captures. Stones are never removed from the board.
No blockading. You may never move onto your opponent's goal corner. Only its owner can stand there.

Tip: range comes from company. Stones that spread out slow down and freeze, so keep a cluster moving and starve your opponent's stones of neighbours instead.
