Players try to control as many stacks as possible. Only the player whose stone is uppermost on a stack can move that stack. It is always important to keep contact with a source of life, in the form of a neutral red Dvonn stone. Stones with no connection to life die.
White plays first. Each player in turn moves one of his stones or stacks. The following rules apply:
In this diagram, if the white player moves the marked piece away, the black stack will lose its life-line and will be removed. Large groups can be cut off in this way and eliminated.
The game ends when neither player can make a move. Each player adds the heights of all his stacks. The player with the greatest total wins.
Sets a limited number of minutes for each player to use. A player whose time runs out, loses immediately.
The players build the initial board by placing, in turn, the three Dvonn stones followed by their own pieces.
The game is recorded. The log file can be retrieved from the Dvonn log area. Help in use of the log files can be found in the Dvonn forum.
