Description:

ZhiZhu! - The Spider™ reimagines the classic game "Nine Men's Morris" with a modern and more challenging design.

Game Content:

1 Spiderweb board, 9 white Spiders, and 9 black Spiders.

START: Player A begins with 9 White Spiders, Player B with 9 Black Spiders, and the board is empty.

GOAL: The objective is to capture your opponent's Spiders that are on the board.

How do you capture your opponent's Spiders?

Capture your opponent's Spiders by forming aligned chains:

SMALL CHAIN: 3 SPIDERS in a row on any of the 8 straight lines.

BIG CHAIN: 5 SPIDERS aligned on any of the 3 circles.

PLAYING THE GAME: The game has two phases:

PHASE 1 – Placement:

Players take turns placing their 9 Spiders, one at a time, on any of the 24 open spots on the Spiderweb.

Creating a Small or Big Chain during this phase lets you capture 1 or 2 of your opponent's Spiders.

PHASE 2 – Sliding Movement:

Once all Spiders are placed, players alternate sliding one Spider into an adjacent empty spot on the Spiderweb (left, right, up, or down from its current position).

Capturing Pieces:

When a player forms a Small Chain (3 aligned Spiders), they immediately capture one of the opponent's Spiders from the board.

When a player makes a Big Chain (5 aligned Spiders), they capture two of the opponent's Spiders from the board.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

You cannot capture Spiders that are already part of a Small or Big Chain—unless there are no other loose Spiders available.

You cannot capture Spiders by reusing the same Spider(s) in the same location to remake a chain.

A new chain is valid only if at least one Spider has been slid into a new position.

WINNING:

The first player to capture 7 of the opponent's Spiders wins.

A player also wins if the opponent resigns, believing there is no chance of recovery or victory.
