The purpose of 'Square Game' is to gain control of the most squares by the time the game ends. In the game players take the pieces and place them in the play space (this is referred to as the board although there is not a physical board). When a player places a piece on the board they perform the action indicated on the piece. When a player places a piece to complete a square they capture the area. Players move and play pieces creating or breaking squares until no further moves can be made and the game comes to an end.
