Closure

A print and play abstract tile laying game drawing from influences such as carcassonne and blokus. Both players start the game with open hands of 16 tiles (3 sets of 6 types) in their color. They take turns laying tiles orthogonally to the other tiles on the board to create 'areas' described by the lines on the tiles. The twist is that the board must remain restricted to a 6x6 grid that is defined DURING PLAY. Laying a tile to a row or column that causes the total board size to be 6 tiles will set the boundary in that dimension for the rest of the game. Once all tiles have been played, players score one point per tile for FULLY ENCLOSED areas in which they have the majority of their own color. The player who was best able to manage the board boundaries along with his own enclosed areas and score the most points wins the game!
