Gridlock
The Goal
The main objective is simple: fill more squares on your grid than your opponent by the time the game ends. Jump down to the game
On Your Turn
- Roll the Dice: Click the "Roll Dice" button to get two numbers.
- Form a Rectangle: These two numbers create a rectangle for you to place (for example, a roll of 2 and 6 makes a 2x6 rectangle). You can click "Rotate" to change it to a 6x2 rectangle.
- Place Your Piece: Click anywhere on an empty space on either grid to place your rectangle.
The "Sneaky" Twist
You don't always have to play on your own board! You can choose to place your rectangle on your opponent's grid to block them or fill an awkward space.
The Forced Move
If you roll a rectangle that will not fit anywhere on your own grid, you don't get a choice. You must place it on your opponent's grid if a valid spot exists there. Your own grid will be temporarily disabled.
Losing a Turn
What if your rectangle doesn't fit on your grid OR your opponent's grid? In that case, you have no possible moves and you lose your turn. Play will automatically pass to your opponent.
How to Win
The game ends when both players lose their turn one after the other. When this happens, the game is over! The player who has filled in the most squares on their own grid is declared the winner.
