<b>Gaze into a reflecting pool to gain insight into this elegant game of spatial reasoning. Connect floating bubbles into thin sheets, but take care never to break an existing sheet.</b>

The goal of the game is to be the last person to make a move. If it is your turn, and no move is available to you, you are the loser.

To move, pick 3 bubbles to form a triangle. You may not intersect another triangle, or reuse a bubble.

The second player may, on their first move, choose to switch sides.

If the game reaches 2 bubbles remaining, the player who won my claim the victory instead of waiting for their opponent to concede.

= Strategy =

At first, it appears there is little strategy involved, but there is. At the start there are (usually) 32 bubbles. The bubble count goes down by 3 each turn, as a triangle is completed. Therefore, by subtracting 6 from the current count repeatedly, you can see where the current player will end up.

If it will be your turn at 2 bubbles, then you will lose at 2. So, you must try and block off 3-5 bubbles so that when there are 5 left, there is no possible triangle.

If it will be your turn at 5 bubbles, you can either:
# Try to keep at least 3 bubbles unblocked, so a triangle can be completed at 5 left.
# Try to block a very large ( 6-8 ) amount of bubbles, so that no triangle can be completed when 8 bubbles are left.

It is unlikely that all triangles can be blocked when 11 bubbles are left, so you are limited to the above strategies.

= Tips =
* Try to start out with large Triangles that split the board roughly in half. This will limit the amount of moves that can be made by your opponent. Be warned, this can backfire.

* Try to split up groups of three bubbles, to reduce the possible moves. Be careful with this in the endgame, it can come back to haunt you.

+Rite of Command is a two-player game played at a formal dueling arena.  Each player must stake a wager to begin the game; the winner collects both wagers.
-Witagog is a game where you pit your own Witagog army against your opponent's. Your goal is to destroy the opponent's Witagogs or end three consecutive turns with a witagog in their arch. When taking an arch, it's only important that you end your turn with one of your gogs in their arch, if they push you out and you move back in, or if you take it with two different gogs [**has to be the same gog now**], it still counts. Witagogs are customizable - you can build them into many different purposes. Strategy is not just in board position but also in changing your army's capabilities to meet changing circumstances.
+Each player has a deck of cards.  The cards in the deck are chosen randomly at the start of the game.  Both players receive exactly the same cards, but the order of the cards is different for each.  (Order can be very significant, and provides a substantial element of chance to the game.)  Players have two minutes to examine their decks before the game begins.
-= Witagog Basics: =
+Play begins with a randomly chosen player and alternates subsequently.
-Each stat starts at one, and each gog starts with no legs.
+There are three rings in the arena.  On each turn, a player will draw the top card from his or her deck and choose to play it into one of these rings.  There are two types of card: soldiers and weapons.  Each type forms a line, left to right, in each ring.  New cards played into a ring join the right end of the line.  For example, if player 1 plays an axe into ring 1 and player 2 then plays a sword into ring 1, ring 1 will contain an axe and a sword in that order.
-Note that when you click a gog, the left hand picture (which shows which legs it has, and allows you to move or attack) is oriented with the top facing north (not your opponent). So if you are on the east side of the board, you'd use the ''left'' circle to move/build/attack towards your opponent.
+After all cards have been played, combat is resolved in each ring based on the cards that have been played into it.  The player who wins two or more rings wins the game.
-== The Move Phase: ==
+Combat begins with soldiers choosing weapons.  Each soldier will choose weapons in turn, starting with the one on the left.  Every soldier may have between 0 and 3 hands, and may be restricted to a certain type of weapon.  A soldier will take as many weapons as he can carry, always choosing the leftmost appropriate weapons.  Soldiers do not care who placed a weapon.
-== The Build Phase: ==
+Consider the following example:
-=== When Witagogs attack: ===
+||Soldiers:||Shield bearer<br>Hand 1: any<br>||Mace bearer<br>Hand 0: blunt<br>Hand 1: blunt||
-One witagog attacks another, dealing the amount of damage equal to its strength and taking damage equal to the defender's defense. The defender will die if his HP are less than or equal to the attackers strength. If the defender survives the attack, however, it deals another round of damage equal to it's defense.  This means that if you attack, either kill the enemy gog, or be prepared to take twice the def value in damage or die yourself.
+||Weapons:||Club (blunt)||Sword (blade)||Divine Staff (blunt)||
-# You defeat the opponent, and survive. (If you have STR equal-to or more-than opponent's HP, and if he has less DEF than your HP)
+The shield bearer will choose first, and will pick up the first available weapon--the club.  The mace bearer will then choose, and will pick up the divine staff.  The mace bearer's other hand will remain empty, since no suitable weapons remain.
-= Basic Strategies: =
+After weapons are chosen, the soldiers will fight in pairs.  The leftmost soldier belonging to player one will fight the leftmost soldier belonging to player two.  Whichever soldier has the greatest power wins.  If soldiers have equal power, the leftmost soldier wins.  The loser is removed from the battlefield.  The winner's power is reduced by 3, to reflect battle fatigue.
-* Specialize your gogs.  One attacking gog and one defensive gog are much cheaper to build and use than one gog that has high attack and defense.
-* Attack with two smaller gogs to kill a larger gog.  You might lose one of the smaller ones, but they lose a big one.
+Every soldier has two power ratings and an "effectiveness condition".  For example, a Priest of Osiris has a power of "6/0 (vs non-priest)".  This means that a Priest of Osiris has a power of 6 when fighting a non-priest, but a power of 0 when fighting a priest.
-* Back up your gog when position matters.  If you have a back-up gog behind one of your primary gogs, your opponent can't push him back.  This is especially important for taking arches.
-* Never underestimate the power of hit points.  Don't know what to spend your build points on? Buy some hit points.  This is especially good when you have one or two leftover points at the begining, spend the points on hitpoint upgrades for your rear gogs instead of wasting them when it discards half of them at the end of the turn.
+A soldier's power is modified by the weapons he is carrying.  Weapons, like soldiers, have two power ratings and an effectiveness condition.  A chariot has a power of "5/0 (if wielder is priest)", indicating that it has a power of 5 when wielded by a priest, and 0 otherwise.
-* Conserve movement points if you don't have a firm plan of attack.  You get half of them back later, which means that if you have a 2-speed gog, you get an extra move out of it the next round.
-* Don't waste your gogs attacking unless you know you can kill.  You only get so many gogs, and unless you can kill something off This Round, you're often better off not attacking.
+The winner in a ring is the player with soldiers still standing in it after all combat is done.

+During the build phase, you are given 49 build points (except for 33 build points for player 1 on the first round), plus half of any build points you did not use the previous turn. Each build action on a gog costs one point plus one for every "improvement" the gog has (legs + stats). So the first leg or stat raise costs 1 point, the second costs 2 points, and so on. To build a leg, click one of the ''empty'' circles on the left hand picture. The diagonal legs can be filled in when the two neighboring legs have been filled in.  To raise a stat, click one of the squares to the right of the stat. To attack, click one of the ''filled-in'' circles (if there is an enemy gog in the next square in that direction). Attacking costs the same as raising a stat or building a leg, but does not raise the cost of the next attack or improvement. You can attack with or build on more than one gog if you have the points - you can even build on a gog and attack with it in the same turn. You can attack as many times a turn as you have build points.  Ending the build phase is just like ending the move phase, and also ends your turn.  When you end your turn, half of the build/move points that you haven't used carry over to the next turn and your gogs heal.
