WHAT IS DonDen?

Have you ever felt frustrated when playing "Tic-Tac-Toe" or "Gomoku", and wished you could have moved opponent's token as you like? DonDen is a solution which is designed to remove your frustration, or to replace it with much more puzzling one; you must move opponent's token you choose every turn, and yet you have even slimmer chance to beat the computer!

RULES & HOW TO PLAY

1. Each turn consists of two phases, namely "placing phase" and "moving phase", with the exception of the first and the sixteenth turn which have "placing phase" only.
2. Every turn starts with "placing phase", where the player places a token by dragging from the "tray" to a vacant area in the board. The player can choose between "Horizontal-Vertical" and "Diagonal" token (more on this later).
3. If the player arrange four tokens in a row (either horizontally, vertically, or diagonally), the player wins the game.
4. If the sixteenth turn is played and neither player wins, it's a draw.
5. The player then proceeds to "moving phase". The player must move one of the opponent's tokens by dragging it to the next vacant area; If the player can move none, the player loses the game.
6. "Horizontal-Vertical" token can move in a horizontal or vertical direction only, and it flips into a "Diagonal" token. "Diagonal" token can, likewise, move in a diagonal direction only and flipss into a "Horizontal-Vertical" one.
7. If four of the opponent's tokens come in a row after moving, the player loses the game.
8. If neither player wins, the game proceeds to another player's turn.
