How to Play

▾

The Goal

First team to 21 wins. Threes get you there faster — 7 corner threes wins; a paint-only team needs 11 makes.

Turn Structure

Each team gets 3 action points per turn, spent across any of your 5 players. Offense acts → Defense reacts → repeat. Unused points are lost.

The Shoot Rule

You can only shoot as the very first action of your turn. Build the look one turn; cash the shot the next.

The Ball

One offense piece is the ball carrier (orange dot). Only the ball carrier shoots or passes. Pass moves the ball — defenders in the lane can deflect for a steal.

Fast Pieces ⚡ + Stamina

⚡ pieces can burst 2 tiles (gold tiles) for 1 stamina. Stamina refills each possession.
