This is a Dutch game for two players. You need the game board shown below. It is easy to draw. You also need two different colour pencils (highlighters are good to use).
The dots are towns. The 9 straight lines are roads going to and through the towns.
Each player takes a turn to colour over a whole straight road
(even though it may pass through several towns).
The first player to colour three roads going to or through the same
town wins.
Does it matter which player goes first?
Which road is it best to colour first?
What happens to the game if you add another road or two?
The following games all have a similar structure and can be played using similar strategies.
We suggest tackling them in the order given.
