Draw a line between two touching dots. Close a shape and the ground inside it becomes yours — the bigger the shape, the more it scores. Claim again and you keep the turn.

How it plays
You will understand it in thirty seconds and still be losing to it an hour later.
On your turn, draw one line between two touching dots — straight or diagonal, to any of the eight neighbours. Lines may not cross, and claimed ground is sealed.
The moment your line completes a closed shape, the ground inside it is yours. Area is the score, so a wide claim beats a tidy little square.
Every claim earns another turn, and there is no cap — string claims together and you can run a whole sequence before anyone else moves.
Claimed ground is sealed — nobody draws through it again. But throw a bigger shape around it and it becomes a hole: you score your area minus theirs, and their claim is walled in for good.
What's in it
No roadmap promises — this is what you get when you open it.
Three difficulties. The hard bot weighs what your reply would earn, and it does not miss free claims.
Create a game, share the code, they join. No friend requests and nobody to add.
3×3 for a quick one, 4×4 as standard, 5×5 when you want the long game.
Online turns run on a 45-second server clock, so nobody can stall a match to death.
A guided board that teaches the rules by making you draw the lines, not by reading at you.
Every finished match pays XP and tracks your played and won totals.
Why it's different
Three rules that change the whole shape of it.
Any closed loop counts, not just a one-cell box. Score is the area you enclose, so the interesting move is usually the greedy one.
A claim is permanent, but not safe from being surrounded. Enclose someone's shape in a bigger one and it becomes a hole inside your territory.
Lines reach all eight neighbours, so shapes are triangles and wedges as often as squares — and every diagonal you draw blocks the one crossing it.

Google Play — soonQuestions
The things people ask in the first two minutes.
Yes. The whole game is free to play, and there are no ads.
You sign in with Google so your XP and match record follow you between devices. We never see your password, and you can delete your account and its data at any time from Settings.
No. There are three bot difficulties, and bot matches work as practice whenever nobody else is around. When you do want a human, create a game and send them the code.
Three ways: any closed shape scores rather than only single boxes, your score is the area you enclose, and surrounding someone's claim turns it into a hole you don't pay for.
Around five minutes on the standard 4×4 board. Pick 3×3 and it's over faster; 5×5 runs considerably longer because there are far more legal lines.
Online turns run on a 45-second clock. Let it expire and play passes on; miss two turns in a row in a game of three or more and you are dropped so the match can finish.
It runs in any modern browser today, on phone or desktop. An Android app is in testing and will be on Google Play soon.
Free, no install, and your first match is about thirty seconds away.
