How to play Corners
Take turns marking dots. Own all four corners of a square and the whole square is yours, shaded in. Most shaded marks when the grid is full wins.
What you need
- A pencil or pen (or two colours)
- A sheet of paper
- Two players
How to set up
Draw 7 rows of 7 dots. One player draws rings, the other crosses.
1. Draw a square grid of dots: 7 rows of 7.
2. Take turns drawing your mark on an empty dot: one player rings, the other crosses.
3. Own all four corners of a square: shade it in and mark every empty dot inside.
How to play
- Put your mark on any empty dot.
- If your marks now sit on all four corners of a square (any size, not tilted), the square is yours.
- Give every empty dot on or inside it your mark, and shade all your marks in it. New squares this makes count too.
How to win
End with more shaded marks than your rival. When every dot is marked, count shaded marks. More wins; equal is a draw.
Tip A corner can belong to many squares: block the dot your rival needs most.
