How To Play

Basic Game: Each player uses a different colour. Starting at

opposite corners of the page, each player colours in (or writes

their symbol inside) two boxes on their turn. Those boxes must

share a side when they form a new "block", and after the first

turn, they must touch another set of that player's boxes by

touching only at a corner (the new block must not share a side

with an older one of the same colour or symbol, like in the

game Blockus). The players take turns, and the goal is to be the

last one able to place a new box.

Boxes of different colours may share a side as they pass each

other, but must not overlap boxes.

Variation 1: Each player starts with a single box, and on each

successive turn adds an extra box to their block. This means

that on the 3rd turn, the block they add will have 3 boxes.

Those boxes must each share a side with another box, and

could be in a row or an L‐shape, as long as they fulfill the one‐

side connection rule. As the block sizes grow, so will the

potential for different shape configurations. This game moves

much faster than the first version.

Variation 2: Using either of the versions above, the goal is now

to reach a square touching the opponent's original block

before their opponent reaches theirs.
