Overview

+	To win this game you have to capture bigger territory than the opponent. The player who puts the last line closing the border around continuos group of squares captures this group. The additional requirement is that there is no remaining open sector(s) of border inside this area.

If a player puts line so that it creates two closed areas, he takes bigger and his opponent - smaller one. See Examples for more explanation.

+	You put dashes by clicking on (or close to) appropriate gray line on the board.

+	You can play with the computer (default), a second player (select Players | 2 Players from the menu), or you can watch the computer playing with itself (Players | Auto Play).

+	Change the difficulty of game in the Board Size menu. Default is "7x7.

See Tips for some valuable strategic advises.


Examples

Here are some examples. Player 1 is Navy&Blue, Player 2 is Red&Yellow.

A)	The corner square makes a very good territory to capture:

B)	There is no closed areas in the following figure, because of sharp edges remaining.

C)	The blue player puts last line surrounding central square. This move creates two closed integral regions. The blue player takes the larger one.


Tips

1.	The first, standard and obvious step in the game is to take the corner rectangles.

2.	Then comes rather static part of the game, when both players put random dashes, just avoiding to create a situation when the opponent could have a chance to close a region and win.

3.	The most exciting part of the game comes when there is no more safe place to put a dash. In that case you have to yield the smallest area possible in order to gain more in next move!

See Examples for some most common game situations.
