It's a 7x6 board. It is filled with "-" when it is empty. The seven rows are numbered down in the grid.


2.2: Pieces
Because it is hard to put color in a forum, the starting player has 21 S and the other has 21 O.


2.3: Movements

2.3.1: On the board
One after the other, the players put a S or a O on the board, replacing the "-". The letter must be down the row(there is gravity normally), so no letter floating in the air.

2.3.2: Written
After he has done his move on the board, the player must say in which row he put the letter. For instance if he put the S in the second row he says "I play my S in row 2".


2.4: End
A player wins when there are four S or O (depending of the letter that he controls) aligned vertically, horizontally or diagonally on the board. If the board is full of letters and there are not four same letters in a row, the game is a draw.
