* Swap out two smalls, or a large and a small, to place a medium in an adjacent space

* Swap out two mediums, or a large and a medium, to place a large or a small in an adjacent space

=== Swaps ===

When swapping pieces out, the two pieces must share at least one adjacent (empty) space; they can, but don't need to be, adjacent themselves. Place the next piece in a space that is adjacent to both of the swapped pieces, then remove the swapped pieces from the board and return them to your stash. You can only do this if you have a piece of the appropriate size remaining, or if the removal of the pieces from the board gives you a piece of the appropriate size.

If the large is removed from the board as part of a swap it may be replaced in an adjacent space; it may "move" in this fashion. Once it is on the board the large is considered "wild", and counts as a medium or a small for all purposes (both swaps and four-in-a-row). The only way to get the large on the board is to swap up from two mediums.

If a player does not have any smalls left, they must swap two smalls (or a large and small) for a medium, or two mediums (or a large and medium) for a large. If they are unable to do either of these things, they lose.
