Goal: Score the most points by making rows of your fruit — horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.

Turns: 🍎 Apple goes first. Players alternate placing one piece per turn. Each player has 13 pieces.

Scoring: Making 3 in a row awards +1 pt. Later extending that same row to 4 awards +3 more. Extending to 5 awards +5 more. Points stack — a full 5-in-a-row earns 1+3+5 = 9 pts total!

⭐ Bonus Stars: 1–5 random cells contain stars. If any cell in your row has a star when points are awarded, that award is doubled. A starred 5-in-a-row = 2+6+10 = 18 pts!

Game End: The board is never cleared. Play continues until all 25 cells are filled. Most points wins!
