About SUSAN
SUSAN™ is played on a hexagonal board with 61 spaces. One player uses white (or light red) stones, the other uses black (or dark blue) stones. On each turn you can place a stone in any empty space, or slide a stone that you already have on the board. When sliding a stone, you may move it to any neighboring space that is not already occupied. If both players slide three turns in a row, the game is a draw. The object of the game is to surround any ONE of your opponents stones. You surround a stone simply by filling in the spaces around it - a stone may be surrounded by any combination of your stones, your opponents stones and the edge of the board. But be careful; if one of your stones is surrounded on your own turn (even if you surround on of our opponents stones at the same time), you lose the game! |
THREATENED A black stone is surrounded on five sides. Black needs to make a defensive move. | |
DEFENDED This move guards the space where White would have placed the winning stone. | |
STAND-OFF White slides a stone. In this situation, neither player can make the final move. | |
SAFE Because of its position near the corner, this black stone cannot be surrounded. |
