About this game

Multiplayer game, originally from childhood. Yes, this is the same game that played a big role in our school life. We want you to go back to your childhood by playing this digital game with attractive features and design.
This is a really simple game that can be played without learning complex rules. But behind the apparent simplicity lies a strategic calculation that is realized in the final part of the game.
During the game you can change the color you are playing as and the size of the board.

The game can be played with artificial intelligence, together with another person on the same device, or with an opponent online in multiplayer mode.

How to play

The moves are made one by one. The move consists of setting a segment between two points. After setting the segment, the move ends and is transferred to the opponent if, as a result of the move, a square was not formed from the previously established segments. The player who successfully fills the square wins this square and receives a plus point, and also receives a bonus move, which he must use. When the entire playing field is filled, that is, there is not a single empty square and not a single empty segment of length left, the game ends. The one with the most points wins.
