Squares is an old geometric game played by two players taking turns. To win, you must score more points.

Points are awarded for the built squares. You put dots of your color at the nodes of a square lattice. If four (4) dots of your color form a square, you get points for it.

The larger the square area, the more points!

The Red's have a small red square with area 1 and a large red square with area 8, while the Blue's have a small square with area 2 and a larger square with area 10.

Now the score is 12:9 in favor of the Blue's, but almost half of the game is still ahead...

Squares can intersect, since you can put your point on any free (grey color) node of the lattice, for example, to the side or inside the square of the enemy.

You can make your moves not in order to build a square, but in order to prevent your enemy from building his own.

You can prepare a system from your points so that in the next move you will build several squares at once and earn a lot of points. And the enemy will not be able to recognize your cunning plan, since by the end of the game the field is covered with many lines and points that only a good player can figure out.

Blue's always makes the first move, so choose your color in different games in turn.
