# Tilt and stop rules

Stop after two losses in a row, cap your sessions, and win won games calmly instead of greedily.

## The rule to take into your games

**Two losses in a row means stop for the day; when you are winning, take away their counterplay before you grab more.**

Part of Goat Pass: 4 steps on the board, 3 guided examples, then puzzles at your level, and the ones you miss come back until they stick. The first 3 lessons are free.
