  <title>Rules</title>
<list>
<item><p>At the start of the game there are either 3 or 7 objects placed on your
 board, depending on the <link xref="change-board-size">board size</link>.</p></item>

<item><p>Each time you <link xref="play">move an object</link>, additional
 objects are placed randomly on the board. The number of new objects placed each
 turn also depends on the board. A preview of the objects to be placed on the
 board appears in the upper left corner of the game window.</p></item>

<item><p>There must be a clear path from the original position of the object to
 the destination cell (i.e you can not jump over objects).</p></item>

<item><p>A straight horizontal, vertical or diagonal line of five or more
 similar objects will disappear from the game board.  When this happens you will
 have an extra move without additional objects being added to the board.</p></item>

<item><p>The more objects you clear, the longer the game will go on. The longer
 you play, the higher your <link xref="scores">score</link>.</p></item>

<item><p>The game is over when the board is full, since no object can be moved
 at that point.</p></item>
