Operating Instructions

  1. Choose a flat play area with enough room around the frame for players to stand safely.
  2. Assemble the frame and side panels if they are not already assembled, then make sure the spring-loaded release slider is closed.
  3. Separate the colored rings into two sets; one player or team uses one color and the other player or team uses the other color.
  4. Choose who goes first, then alternate turns, dropping one ring at a time into any open slot at the top.
  5. The rings stack from the bottom up in each column.
  6. The first player or team to connect four of the same color in a row wins: vertical, horizontal, or diagonal all count.
  7. There is usually no point scoring; play one game at a time, or keep match score as one point per game won.
  8. Strategy tip: try to control the center columns, build two possible winning lines at once, and block your opponent immediately when they have three in a row.
  9. To restart, hold the frame steady and use the release slider to drop the rings out carefully.
  10. After play, collect all rings and return the frame, slider, side panels, rings, and carry bag to the storage spot.

Have a problem?

  • Release slider is stuck or rings will not drop
    1. Do not force the slider hard.
    2. Hold the frame steady with one hand and try sliding it gently again.
    3. If it still sticks, remove rings from the top by hand if easy and contact your host.
  • Frame wobbles or comes apart
    1. Stop play and move the game to a flatter surface.
    2. Check that the side panels are fully seated.
    3. If the frame still wobbles, stop using it and contact your host.
  • Rings are missing
    1. Check under nearby furniture, in the carry bag, and around the play area.
    2. Keep small children from putting rings in their mouth.
    3. Contact your host if pieces are missing.
