Your first move: Start from your safe territory and draw a short path outside it.

After a level: replay & next steps

Play again on the same terms, watch the game’s saved replay, or choose another challenge. A close loss is a chance to try a different route.

How to play & controls

Leave your territory and reconnect to enclose neutral cells. An exposed trail can be cut, sending you back to safety while keeping acquired territory.

  1. Start from your safe territory and draw a short path outside it.
  2. Return to safety to close the path; only genuinely enclosed neutral cells are captured.
  3. Watch the rival’s exposed line. Shared simultaneous claims remain neutral.

Arrow keys / WASD or held touch arrows move; Wait stops. Pause freezes both runners and the round timer.

Tips & saving

An open loop does not capture land. Cells still connected to the board edge remain neutral.

Short excursions reduce the time your trail is exposed. Acquired territory gives you new safe starting points.

A cut resets the exposed excursion rather than erasing all your land. Recover from the safe cell and choose a new boundary.
