**The Basics**

- **Two Players:** One player is **Red** and the other is **Blue**.
- **Two Directions:**
  - The **Red** player places dominoes **vertically** (up and down).
  - The **Blue** player places dominoes **horizontally** (left and right).
- **The Board:** The game is played on a grid of empty squares.

**Gameplay**

1. **Red Starts:** The Red player always goes first.
2. **Placing a Domino:**
  - **Red Player's Turn:** Find two empty squares stacked on top of each other. Click on the **top** square to place your vertical domino.
  - **Blue Player's Turn:** Find two empty squares sitting next to each other. Click on the **left** square to place your horizontal domino.
3. **Hover for Help:** As you move your mouse (or finger on a tablet) over the board, any valid spot to place your domino will be highlighted in **yellow**. This shows you where you can make a move.
4. **No Overlapping:** Dominoes cannot be placed on top of squares that are already taken.

**How to Win**

You win the game if your opponent cannot make a move. If it's their turn, and there are no empty spaces left for them to place a domino, you are the winner!
