■ Product Introduction

[Game Objective and Rules]

The goal of the game is to move four of your five pieces to the other side of the board.
The goal is to return to the starting point. It's a simple goal, but the tactics required to get there are what make this game so appealing.

• Basic Rules : Players take turns moving their pieces.
  The distance a piece moves is determined by the number of dots (usually 1 to 3 squares) in the column it starts on.
• Relationship with opponent's pieces : When your piece moves over an opponent's piece,
  The opponent's piece is returned to its starting point, and your piece moves one space forward from where the opponent's piece was.
• Flip mechanics : When a piece reaches the other side of the board, it flips.
  On the way back, the movement speed is reversed (e.g., a piece that moved 3 spaces on the way there will move 1 space on the way back).
• Victory Condition : The first player to return all four of their pieces to their starting point wins.

[Key points for strategic thinking]

In SQUADRO MINI, strategic thinking is key to success:

• Prediction and Efficiency : It is important to predict the movements of your opponent's pieces and move your pieces efficiently.
• Planning the outbound and return journey : When a piece reaches the other side, its movement speed reverses,
  You need to plan your trip taking into account the distance you will travel on your way there and back.
• Blocking Decisions : When blocking an opponent's piece, carefully consider the pros and cons.
• Endgame Reading : In the endgame, your options are limited, testing your ability to think several moves ahead.
