How to play

A 4 by 4 board of boxes. Your hand points at a line not yet drawn: A and B step through them row by row, and C draws it. Draw the fourth side of a box and the box is yours (checkered; the opponent's are solid), and you draw again. When every line is drawn, more boxes wins. The opponent takes any box it can and tries not to draw a box's third side, but slips up 15% of the time. Points for a win.
