Playing TipsEven with the 3x3 small board one, you'd better think ahead, because the game is not as simple as you think ;-).EquipmentYou can play with "Paper Board and Pieces", for your convinience. You can use two sets of coins as the pieces, such as "dime head/tail" for "white Rook/Bishop" and "penny head/tail" for "black Rook/Bishop".Sample Games

NOTE †The left photo at the page top shows a match-up on the 3x3 board, and the right is another one on the 5x5 board. It seems people who first played the games prefer 3x3 version over 5x5 version. The photo in the lower section at the page top shows the FlipFlop made of tiles, just arrived! It is designed by masahiro Nakajima and manufactured by Mitsuo Yamamoto. The paper version and the software version are also nice but this tile version is truly gorgeous...
