Kluft
Move a piece, break a tile, and the board shrinks. Last one the Kluft doesn't strand wins.

How to play
Move
On your turn, pick one of your pieces and slide it to a nearby empty tile. A lone piece moves one tile.
Longer moves
A taller stack travels farther. A stack of two moves up to two tiles in a straight line.
Stack up
Move onto one of your own pieces to combine them into a taller stack, up to three high.
Split
Tap a stack, then tap it again to split. One piece hops to a neighbouring tile and the rest stay put.
Jump a gap
A stack can leap straight over a hole and land on the tile just beyond it.
Jump a piece
It can clear a shorter enemy the same way, hopping right over its head.
Climb
Some tiles sit higher than others. A piece can step up one level onto raised ground.
Climb higher
How high you climb is your stack's height, so a stack of two reaches a two-level tile a single piece cannot.
Destroy a tile
After you move, wreck any empty tile anywhere on the board. It's gone for good, and the board shrinks.
Cracked tiles
A cracked tile falls away the moment you step off it, leaving a hole behind you.
Reinforced tiles
A reinforced tile shrugs off the first hit. It only breaks on the second.
Win by trapping
You win when your opponent has no move left. Box their last piece in and it turns grey.
