4 - WAY

  

  Players needed: 4 per table
  Rounds to play before Banner: varies - see seating below
  Approx. Time: 30 - 45 min per round
  Game Settings: Manual Fives, 1 Pawn Out, NO Blockades

  
In Round 1 each table starts off with 4 players.

The 2 player with the LEAST number of pawns in the HOME TRIANGLE are out.  The rest move on to the next round.
This pattern will continue until there is 1 table left playing (for full tourney - mini will have more banners)

Additional Rules

  • When possible the Winners from each table will be split up & put on 2 different tables.
  • You do not have to pick the same seat color as the previous round.
  • Please play at a steady pace as to not hold up the tourney for the other players
In case of a tie, the player who has more spaces to move will be out.   To find out who that player is, we use Neptunes Report to provide a consistent host ruling.
