About the game
What you do in a play session
DONUTS is an abstract strategy game for two players where the goal is to align five rings of your color to win. The board is randomly set up with four 3x3 tiles, forming a 6x6 grid. Each square has a vertical, horizontal, or diagonal line, which dictates the direction your opponent must place their ring after your move. The trick is to try to surround your opponent's rings to convert them to your color. If the board fills up without anyone aligning five rings, the player with the largest connected group of rings wins. It's a quick game but packed with strategic twists!
