HOW TO PLAY:
Start with an empty grid of dots. Two players take turns drawing a single horizontal or vertical line between two adjacent dots.
The player who completes the fourth side of a 1×1 square box captures that grid, earns one point, and immediately gets another bonus turn!

The game ends when no more lines can be placed. The player with the most squares wins the match!
