The playing sequence

How your actions work

One way to understand the rules
The parallelogram may need flipping rather than rotation. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Choose a deliberate next step.
A mistake to avoid
Overlaps do not count as filling the target. Check the rule before repeating the action. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
