2) Move a piece (following the movement rule above) from a row consisting of three or four like-colored adjacent (orthogonal or diagonal) pieces, but in doing so, you lose your next turn or

3) After moving a piece, on the same turn, you may perform a custodian Capture by having the moved piece, and another like colored piece on either side of at least one straight (orthogonal or diagonal) occupied line of opposed colored pieces (1-3 pieces if you are player one or 1 or more if player two). The trapped piece(s) are then flipped over.

Restrictions
A player may not repeat the board position of the previous turn.

Object
The game ends, and a win is made, when player one makes a five in a row (orthogonally or diagonally) in either color or player two a row of five or more in either color.
