The players (Black and White) take turns selecting a hexagon to fill with their color. A player wins when they have built a solid chain between the two edges of their color. The screenshot at the top of this page demonstrates a winning configuration for Black.
Normally, the game is played using the swap rule in order to mitigate the advantage of playing first. Under the swap rule, Black makes the first move, and then White chooses whether or not to swap pieces with Black. If White chooses to swap pieces, then Black's move is replaced with the equivalent White move, and then it is Black's turn. Play then continues as normal.
