== Goal ==
Line 93 ⟶ 95:
Each turn, take one action from the below options.
#'''Move a Piece:''' Lift a piece in your own color, either a single piece or the top piece in a stack, and move it one space orthogonally. It may enter an occupied space; if so, place your piece on top of whatever is there.
#'''Slide a Stack:''' Slide an entire stack (or a single piece) one space orthogonally. It maycan notonly enter an empty space. Your color must be on top for this to be legal.
#'''Bubble Up:''' Move the lowest piece in a stack to the top of that stack. If the lowest piece is visible, simply do it; if the lowest piece cannot be seen, you have to say what color it is, then reveal the piece. If you were correct, proceed to place that piece on top of the stack. If incorrect, the bottom-most piece stays where it is and your turn is over. Bubbling Up is not allowed on a stack where your opponent Bubbled Up on his previous turn.
#'''Lava Tube Ejection:''' If the top three pyramids of a stack containsare an Oreo-like structure (white-black-white or black-white-black), you may remove this middle piece and move it one space orthogonally. You may even do this if the pattern is not currently visible: just correctly announce the existence and color of such a situation, then reveal your statement to be correct before proceeding to move the middle piece.
#'''Pass:''' Do nothing.
