The game consists of a L-shaped frame on which 16 rings are distributed over 4 curved bars that connect the two sides of the frame (1,3,5 and 7 rings).

The game starts with all rings on the same side. A player then chooses on of the bars, and slides a number of rings of his choice to the other side (minimum one). Play alternates between the players, until one player is forced to move the final remaining ring thus loosing the game.
