About the Game

The game is played on an 8x8 checkerboard of white and light grey squares.

Pieces consist of Dots in 8 colors - Pink, Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Indigo, Turquoise, and Purple. There are 8 Dots for each color, for a total of 64 pieces.

The two players divide up the Dots however they like so that one player has all of 4 colors, and the other player has all of the of the other 4 colors.

Players take turns placing a Dot on any empty space on the board - with the following restriction: a Dot may not be placed on any square that shares the same row, column, or diagonal of a Dot of the same color.

First player unable to place a Dot on their turn loses.
