The Forms is played on a square board with 18x18 cells. Other even sizes can be used like 8x8 or 12x12.

Initially the board is filled with black and white stones as shown on the following picture:

A player wins if all his stones are removed from the board.

No draws are possible in the Forms game.

Players move alternatively, starting from the player with the black stones.

A move consists of three steps:

1. A player selects one of his stones.
2. A player moves the selected stone to any cell occupied by opponent's stone (the opponent's stone is removed from the board).
3. A player removes all stones (both black and white) that aren't connected to the moved player's stone with some chain of adjacent (either horizontally or vertically) stones (both black and white).

Below is an example of the move:

A player selects one of his black stones.	A player moves the selected stone to a cell occupied by a white stone.	A player removes all stones that aren't connected to the moved black stone.
