Troubleshooting

Game pieces are difficult to move.

Ensure the game board is on a completely flat surface. Check if any debris has accumulated on the board or within the stone movement channels.

Stones do not move smoothly.

Wipe the board surface and the base of the stones with a dry cloth. If the issue persists, very lightly dust the board channels with a tiny amount of talcum powder (use sparingly).

Difficulty understanding movement speeds.

Refer to the game's rule sheet for a clear explanation of each stone's specific movement allowance. Practice moving each stone type individually to get a feel for their speed.

Board seems uneven.

Verify that the board is placed on a level surface. If the board itself has a warp, contact customer support.
