How to Play:

Each player chooses a color and takes a set of 21 pieces. Players
take turns placing pieces on the board, each starting from the corner
of their color. Each new piece must touch at least one other piece
of the same color, but only at the corners!  Pieces of the same color
cannot be in contact along an edge. There are no restrictions on how
pieces of different colors may touch each other. The goal is to cover
as much of the board with your pieces as possible. Players who put
down all their pieces earn extra points! Be tactical. Blockade your
opponents while expanding your own territory. The game ends when
all players are blocked from laying down any more of their pieces. 
This also includes any players who may have placed all of their pieces
on the board. Scores are tallied. And the winner is the player for
whom the total area of his/her remaining pieces is the lowest!
