Input guidance
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. A new-round button replaces the current round.
A closer look at one example
A piece in an opposing mill can be captured only when every opposing piece belongs to a mill. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Check the stated objective.
Avoid this misunderstanding
Only the defined lines count as mills, not any visual alignment. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
