Frequently asked questions
Control territory efficiently while forcing your opponent into a smaller and smaller trapped space - since your own trail also blocks you, careful spatial planning matters as much as aggression toward your opponent.
Check the game's specific mode options - many implementations of this style of game offer both an AI opponent and local multiplayer.
Typically trapping yourself (running out of open moves due to your own trail) counts as a loss, same as being trapped by your opponent - self-awareness of your trail is a key part of the strategy.
