Components

  • 7×7 board
  • black token1 on the centre square.
  • green token1 on the last played piece.
  • 24 2×1 domino-shaped pieces:

66 66 66 66

Game play

  • 2 players: More and Fewer.
  • More starts.
  • Each turn one piece is placed on the board, with the green counter on top.
  • A piece may be placed anywhere it does not:
    • overlap another piece,
    • overlap the black counter, or
    • touch an edge of a piece with the green counter.
  • If a player does not have a legal move, they pass their turn and remove the green counter from the board.

Game end

  • Once no more moves can be made, the number of color groups on the board is counted.
  • A color group is any set of one or more pieces of the same color that are connected vertically or horizontally.
  • The Fewer player wins if the number of distinct groups of cells of the same color is fewer than 12, otherwise the More player wins.
Example
13 color groups ⇨ More player wins!
