Goal — score more VP than your opponent. The game ends when the current player cannot place a bar or tower.
Turns — on your turn, do exactly one thing: place a bar or place a tower.
Bars — a bar covers 3 cells in a row (horizontal or vertical). Tap its center cell to place. Bars cannot overlap other bars or towers.
Towers — a tower occupies 1 cell. When placed, each touching bar (yours or your opponent's) scores +1 VP for that bar's owner. Towers cannot be adjacent to another tower.
New bars score too — when you place a bar next to an existing tower, that tower scores again immediately.
Winning — when a player cannot act, the game ends. The player with more VP wins. Ties go to Black.
Construct Prime — all Construct rules apply, plus coins and actions.
Coins ⬡ — 32 coins are scattered randomly on the board at game start (never in the center, never 3 in a row). Place a bar or tower on top of a coin to collect it.
Black starts with 2 coins — to offset going second.
Actions — 3 actions are dealt randomly at the start of each Prime game. On your turn you may buy one instead of placing a piece. All players can buy any action.
Turns in Prime — do exactly one of: place a bar, place a tower, or buy an action.
Winning — same as Construct. When a player cannot place anything or afford any action, the game ends. Most VP wins.

Actions
Each Prime game deals 3 actions at random from the list below. Only those 3 are available that game.
ℹ️ How to play
On your turn, do one thing:
Place a bar — choose H or V, tap the center cell. Bars are 3 cells wide.
Place a tower — tap any empty cell. Can't be adjacent to another tower. Earns 1 VP for each bar touching it, regardless of who placed it.
Buy an Action — spend coins on one of the 3 dealt actions. Flags and keys pay out at start of each turn.
Game ends when a player can't act. Most VP wins.
