Paw Wars

Choose an empty square or one already belonging to your side. Each move adds one paw.

• Corners can safely hold one paw.
• Edges can safely hold two paws.
• Centre squares can safely hold three paws.
• Adding another paw makes the square burst into its neighbouring squares.
• A burst captures any opposing squares it reaches and may trigger a chain reaction.

After both sides have made their opening move, the first side to lose all its paws loses the game.
