Kropki

Kropki(also known as Dots) is an abstract strategy game played with a paper and pencil. The rules of this game are similar to that of Go, apart from the fact that you don't remove 'dead' dots from the board. This game is generally played using a paper and pen.
Rules
During the game, each players movement consists in placing a dot on an empty intersection on the grid. Players take turns moving, trying to surround the enemy's dots. If it succeeds, by making sure that the enemy's dots are not connected vertically, horizontally or diagonally to an empty intersection. One of the main difference between Kropki and Go is that Kropki can have diagonal 'liberties'.
The size of the grid on which the game is played is optional. This game is usually played by two players, but the game may participate in more players, provided that each uses a different color. The game ends when the whole sheet is full, or until one player has to surrender, or both would agree to end the game and count the points.
