Dao

This is a game developed to learn or improve skills in the Dao board game.

Dao Rules:

Dao is an abstract two-player game on a 4x4 board. The goal is to fulfill one of the following win conditions:

1.  Form a straight line (horizontal or vertical) with your 4 pieces.
2.  Form a 2x2 square with your pieces anywhere on the board.
3.  Occupy the 4 corners of the board.

Movement

On your turn, you must select and move one of your pieces. Pieces slide orthogonally or diagonally (like a queen in chess) but must continue moving until they hit the edge of the board or another piece.

Special Rule (Trapped)

If at the end of your move you trap an opponent's piece in a corner using 3 of your pieces, you automatically lose the game for forcing them into a position where they cannot move!
