#### Rules

Initial board position.

- Players alternate turns on each move.
- Each turn consists in moving an own pawn to an adjacent unoccupied field.
- Objective is to form any sized exact square by own pawns. A square may be directed straight, diagonal, or oblique.
- Player wins immediately on reaching the objective.

### Sample Moves

Available moves for light pawns.

The diagram shows a sample situation of an ongoing game. The arrows indicate all legal moves available for the player controlling the light pawns.

### Objective in more detail

Samples for square constellations winning the game called a 'Mondrago':

Light straight small square wins.

If edges of the winning square run exactly parallel towards the board edges the winning square is called a straight Mondrago. There are four different sizes of straight Mondrago winning squares. Here the light pawns form a winning three by three sized Mondrago.

Dark diagonal huge square wins.

Just two sizes of a Mondrago exist on diagonal justification. There are nine possible smaller diagonal Mondrago squares, too, and a huge one as shown here built by the dark pawns this time.

Dark oblique small square wins.

Oblique Mondrago squares exist in two sizes, too. Here dark built a small variant to win the game.

Mind there are exactly 50 different constellations to win a 'Mondrago'. A player wins even if the opponent's pawns may be placed on edges or inner fields of any Mondrago.

### Ethics and Respect

On winning a game of Mondrago well educated fair players usually follow a policy that

- the winner clearly announces and confirms his win by saying 'Mondrago'
- while the competitor responds 'Thank you!'

As an additional sign of mutual respect a handshake or high five is quite common as well.
