* If the action piece has fallen and is touching other pieces - It remains on the board as a potential tower to be captured by your opponent on his turn.

* If the piece has fallen and is not touching other pieces – you must pick it up and put it back in your stack. (Note: This applies to leaning pieces as well. You cannot play a leaning piece AND cause a fault. For example: if a fault is created and the action piece is still leaning afterwards, it must be put back in your hand)

Converting Opponents Pieces

You cannot convert your opponent's standing pieces to Foundations of your own colour. When a fault of this kind happens, you resolve the action piece (usually by putting it back in your stack). Your turn ends and your opponent then gets to capture this piece as if capturing a tower.

Mobile Foundations

Foundations can move up to one disc diameter as part of a legal play without causing a fault.

Impossible Captures

The impossible capture is probably the most asked about scenario. Impossible captures are handled as the rules state. If you cause this to happen, the touching discs must be captured by your opponent. In doing so the standing piece falls creating a fault. The pieces forming the tower are placed into your opponent's stack. Your opponent loses his turn and you get to play again.

See the Variants/House Rules and the Tactics section for more information.
