Square

The rules of the game

Square is a fairly simple game, where the goal is to get all nine fields to zero. You may do so by pressing one field per turn. This field is the center of a cross of fields that will be affected by your move. Each field in the cross, of which you select the center, will be raised by one, modulo six. This means that when a field should reach the value six, it will automatically be made zero. The next example should make this clear.

Example

Suppose we have the following on the game board:

3	0	4
1	5	5
0	2	2

Then we make our move at the upper-right corner:

4	1	5
1	5	0
0	2	3

I hope this example helps to clarify the game.

Please report bugs.
