## Rules questions

### Can I add a pawn and move a stack in the same turn?

No. On your turn, choose either to add one disk to an empty square or to move a whole stack or its upper part. (p. 1)

### Can a stack move onto an empty square, or jump over a stack?

A stack may not move onto an empty square; it moves to another stack. The movement rules say Rooks, Bishops, and Queens travel to the first stack on their path. (p. 1)

### Can I move a stack that has my opponent’s color on top?

Yes. The top disk shows the stack’s color, not who controls it; you may move a stack regardless of whose color is on top. (p. 1)

### Does a stack of exactly six disks end the game, and who wins?

Yes. As soon as a stack reaches six or more disks, the game ends; the player whose color is on top wins, even if the stack is taller than six. (pp. 1–2)

### Can I simply reverse my opponent’s last move?

No. The rulebook forbids playing the opposite move to your opponent’s last move. (p. 1)
