The game starts with a sheet divided into unfilled zones. Players alternate selecting where to apply their colour, each aiming to shape the final picture into one of two predefined objectives. While you push your own image forward, you can also sabotage your opponent, creating a constant push‑and‑pull between aggression and defence. Choices follow an open‑draft system: every available zone is visible, letting each player plan their next stroke with full information. There are no cards, dice or luck; success hinges on pattern recognition, zone control, and the ability to anticipate how the judge (or online community) will interpret the finished artwork. Once the sheet is completely coloured, the players present it to an impartial judge – which can be a friend, a designated arbiter, or a social‑media vote – and the winner is the one whose picture best matches their target according to the judge’s perception. Though it’s a perfect‑information abstract game, a dash of empathy is required: understanding how the other player sees the board can shift your strategy in the final moments. In about 15‑25 minutes the duel ends, leaving a visual record you can keep or share. It’s ideal for anyone wanting a quick, visual, and cerebral showdown without fiddly components. ## FAQ ### How many players can play?
