The entry moves clockwise around the edge. A blocked pawn travels inward; a full line advances to the next entry. Wherever it enters, every pawn moves up. Top-rank pawns are stuck until another pawn merges into them.

Royal cascade · Blue kings are permanentTwo white kings become one blue king and start a cascade. Every available white pair then combines automatically, one rank at a time from pawns through kings, and earns the points shown above. Blue kings move one square onto empty squares, never combine, and are ignored by future cascades. The next pawn waits until the cascade finishes, then restarts from A1.
