Play against other players or the AI and try to place your pieces to capture your opponents. Pieces are captured by placing your piece so that the opponents are surrounded by yours in a straight line... XOOO, you place a piece to the right, XOOOX, You end up with XXXXX. This applies to Up, down, left, right, and diagonals, so try to find the best move and plan ahead so you don't give your opponent an opening!

Edit: This problem has been fixed. Thanks!

The game only reports your score to the hub the very first time you win, meaning that you are stuck with your first score. (Hope you got that medal the first time!)
Game is fun though to pass some time.
Thanks for fixing the score issue!
Not that it's a huge deal, but why is the Name field listed twice in the scores?
