Taking Turns: On each turn, players take turns colouring in one uncoloured hexagon anywhere on the board.

Instructions:
Set Up: Players take turns filling in pairs of adjacent squares on the grid, as if covering them with a domino (a 1x2 rectangle). These squares are not owned by any player.

Even Regions Don’t Count: Closing off a region of 2, 4, 6, or 8 squares doesn’t count. You can only claim regions that have an odd number of squares.
Claiming Squares: When you close off a valid region, mark those squares as yours. Continue playing until no more dominoes can be placed.
Winning: The player who claims the most squares by the end of the game wins.
