4x4 게임판으로 플레이하는 추상 전략 게임입니다.

플레이어들은 각각 빨간색/파란색 양면 타일 8개와 노란색/하얀색 양면 타일 8개를 나누어 가집니다.

게임판은 비어진 상태로 시작합니다. 차례(첫번째 차례 제외)는 다음과 같이 진행됩니다.
1) 이미 배치된 상대편 타일을 가로 또는 세로로 뒤집습니다.
2) 자신의 타일 중 하나를 비어있는 칸에 원하는 방향으로 놓습니다.

자신의 타일 3개가 같은 색으로 고정된 줄을 만든 도전자가 승리합니다. 고정된 줄은, 인접한 칸에 다른 타일이 놓여 뒤집을 수 없는 타일 3개로 이루어진 줄을 의미합니다.

Abstract strategy game on a 4x4 board.

One player takes the moon pieces (8 purple pieces with a gold moon on one side and a silver moon on the other side) and the second player takes the sun pieces (8 magenta pieces with a gold sun on one side and a silver sun on the other side).

The board begins empty. The move (except the very first one, in which you can only place a piece of yours) consists of:
1) move an already placed opponent's piece one square in any orthogonal direction, flipping its side
2) putting one of your piece in any vacant square, whatever side up.

The winner is the first player to get 3 of his game pieces of the same color (gold or silver) in a "locked" row, either horizontally, vertically or diagonally. A row of 3 is "locked" when none of the pieces in it can be flipped into an adjacent square because all the adjacent squares aren't empty.

Previously published as Rubik's Magic and Rubik's Eclipse. The versions vary in how the pieces are marked, but the rules are the same. The name "Rubik's Magic" was also used for a puzzle unrelated to this game.

Here's how the various games are related:

Head & Tails - Two colors of coins and front/back to each coin.
Rubik's Eclipse - Tiles either colored red/blue and the icon on the tile is either gold/silver.
Rubik's Magic - Tiles have circle/square and either black/silver background)
Rubik's Tac Toe - 8 blue/green "O"s and 8 yellow/white "X"s
