Line 79:

'''Sliding:''' Strictly viewing the playing area as five columns, at any time, you may close any column gap by sliding the piece directly below the gap all the way forward until it is touching the pyramid above the gap (or touching the top edge of the board). All pieces that are consecutively ‘touching’ behind it must also move along behind it. Gaps can never be closed by moving pieces left, right, backwards or diagonally, and pieces further back in the same column that are separated by more gaps do not move at all unless you choose to slide them in a separate move. The ‘invisible’ first row is available at any time as an extra space to slide pieces into.

In this case, if the yellow pyramid were to move forward, it would have to move forward all three spaces. The purple stack and the small pink behind it would follow along. The green pyramid at the bottom of the board would not move because it is separated from the chain by a gap.

''In this case, if the yellow pyramid were to move forward, it would have to move forward all three empty spaces. The purple stack and the small pink pyramid behind it would follow along. The green pyramid at the bottom of the board would not move because it is separated from the chain by a gap.''

'''Swapping:''' Besides stacking and sliding, the only other type of movement is the swap, where you trade the piece(s) in any one occupied space with the piece(s) of any other occupied space in play. You do not start the game with any swaps, but can earn up to two by banking rainbow stashes, as described next.
