Networks

Counters of two different colours (approx 20 of each)
Object of Game:
•
To complete a “network” between two opposite goal regions.

Each player chooses a goal region colour and a counter colour.
•
Players take turns to place a counter in an unoccupied square in an attempt to create a
“network” between their two opposite goal regions.
•
A network must contain at least six “connected” counters.

pass through a counter without turning; or
pass through a counter more than once.

Nine counters of two different colours (18 total)
Object of Game:
•
To remove all of your opponents counters.

( horizontally or vertically, not
diagonally).
•
When a player forms a row of three, they may then remove any one of their
