**Objective:**  
The goal is to be the last player with un-splattered paint blobs remaining on the grid. [Jump to the game](#splatter-game) or [buy the book](https://mathgameswithbaddrawings.com/buy-the-book?ref=esheets.io)

**Setup:**  
The game begins on an 8x8 grid filled with an equal number of Blue and Yellow paint blobs, randomly placed.

**Gameplay:**

1. Players (Blue and Yellow) take turns. Blue always starts the first game.
2. You cannot skip your turn.

**On Your Turn:**

1. **Select a Blob:** Click on one of your own colored paint blobs. It will be highlighted.
2. **Choose a Splatter Pattern:** Click one of the four splatter buttons:
  - **Splatter Alone:** Only the selected blob is removed.
  - **Splatter All Neighbors:** The selected blob AND all 8 of its immediate neighbors (orthogonal and diagonal) are removed.
  - **Splatter Diagonal:** The selected blob AND its 4 diagonal neighbors (northwest, northeast, southwest, southeast) are removed.
  - **Splatter Orthogonal:** The selected blob AND its 4 orthogonal neighbors (north, south, east, west) are removed.
3. **Blobs Removed:** All affected blobs (including the one you selected and any neighbors caught in the splatter) are "splattered" and removed from the game (they will turn grey).

**Winning the Game:**

- The game ends when one player has no blobs left on the grid.
- The player who still has blobs remaining is the **winner!**
- If both players run out of blobs simultaneously (e.g., the very last move splatters blobs of both colors, including the last of the current player's), the game is a **Draw**.
