You are a lotus flower, competing with another lotus flower to control the pond you're in.
The pieces you see on the board are seed pods.

sudo bangbangIn each turn, a player can do two things:
1. Move a piece.
2. Add 2 pegs to their pieces. You can put both pegs on one piece or on two different pieces.
Pegs represent the possible moves that piece can take.
I'll explain this more in your turn.1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment6273d0fe9d97d00
sudo bangbangSelect the position in front to move the selected piece.1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment6273d108c8db410square_2_4 16
sudo bangbangNow, let's add pegs on this piece.
Adding a peg in the hole marked in [red]red[/red] will let you move to the position marked in [red]red[/red].
That is two positions right and two positions in front of the current position.

sudo bangbangCongratulation, you've learned how to play Thrive.
When a player has only one piece left on the board, their opponent wins. So try to capture those pieces and avoid being captured.
When both players have only 2 pieces left on the board, you can also win by filling up one of your pieces with pegs.1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment6273d18821a7200
