New page

A '''pattern''' is simply a collection of pieces in some region of the board. The region may be near an edge, such as the Ziggurat

[[Image:Ziggurat.png]]

or it could be anywhere in the board, such as the basic [[bridge]]:

[[Image:Bridge.png]].

A pattern can be as large as you like -- for example here is a pattern: the only known single-stone 6th row edge template.

<hex>
R6 C14
Sa1 Sb1 Sc1 Sd1 Se1 Sf1 Sg1 Sh1 Rj1 Sl1 Sm1 Sn1
Sa2 Sb2 Sc2 Sd2 Se2 Sf2 Sm2 Sn2
Sa3 Sb3 Sc3 Sd3 Sn3
Sa4 Sb4
Sa5
</hex>

The starred [[hex|hexes]] are not part of the pattern (they are only there because no-one has taken the trouble to find out how to remove them).
