Passive move

menu

The Passive (or Set Up) move must be played on one of the player's two Homeboards. The player chooses one of their color stones and moves it into any unblocked direction, up to two spaces.

Stones cannot jump over other stones.

EXAMPLE: Black has chosen to move a stone (fig. a) on their Light Homeboard. The chosen stone can move as shown; it can move in any direction up to 2 unoccupied spaces. Because it's the Passive Move, it cannot push any other stone.
