Description
An abstract game on area control. Two players, blue and white, try to control as much area on the board as possible. The board is a simple abstract grid, where you set your tokens on the intersection points of the lines. Up to five adjacent tokens build a group. A turn has three phases: Expand, attack and beat. First suitable groups can be expanded by a new token, second each group can move and third for adjacent groups the lager one beats a token from the smaller one by creating a red hindrance token. Game ends when there is no more space to grow on the board. Player how has most tokens on board is the winner.
