Objective — score more Victory Points (VP) than your opponent. The game ends the moment a player has no legal move left; whoever has more VP at that instant wins. Setup — played on a 9×9 or 10×10 grid. Unless you chose 0 Constructs, coins are hidden under random cells and Black starts with a 2-coin head start. Your turn — do exactly one thing: place a Bar, place a Tower, or buy a Construct. Then play passes to your opponent. Bars — 3-cell straight pieces, horizontal or vertical. All 3 cells must be empty. Collect any coin(s) they land on. Towers — 1-cell pieces on any empty cell not touching another tower. Score +1 VP for the owner immediately, plus +1 VP for every bar (either player's) touching it — both when the tower is placed and whenever a new bar is placed next to it later. Coins ⬡ — collected by covering them with a Bar or Tower. They're your currency for Constructs. Constructs — buyable special actions, from +VP and extra placements to removing pieces from the board. Pick 0, 3, or 6 to be dealt at random before the game starts (costs range 2–7⬡). See all 12 → End of game — when the current player can neither place a Bar or Tower nor afford any Construct, the game is over. Most VP wins; leftover coins score nothing.

ℹ️ How to play
On your turn, do one thing:
Place a bar — choose H or V, tap the center cell. Bars are 3 cells wide.
Place a tower — tap any empty cell. Can't be adjacent to another tower. Earns 1 VP for each bar touching it, regardless of who placed it.
Buy a Construct — spend coins on one of this game's dealt actions. Flags and keys pay out at start of each turn.
Game ends when a player can't act. Most VP wins.
