HOSHI

Drop paratroopers, deploy drones, and take ground. Win by capturing 3 enemy troopers, or by holding more territory when the game ends.

Your turn — one action

• Place a trooper (the star) on any empty point — your anchor.
• Deploy a drone on a lit point within range of a ready trooper.
• Pass — skip your turn. Two passes in a row end the game and count territory (so you can't end it alone on move 2).

Key rules

• A trooper can’t deploy the turn it lands — it looks faded until ready.
• Surround a connected group so it has no empty neighbor, and it’s captured.
• Drones only come from a living, ready trooper — protect your anchors.

Setups

The setup dropdown only changes where your troopers start — the rules never change. More committed forward = more early pressure, less flexibility.
