How to play Stained Glass
Fill the panes of a window one at a time, never next to your rival's. The first player with nowhere to go loses.
What you need
- A pencil or pen
- A sheet of paper
- Two players
How to set up
Draw a window and split it into about twenty panes. One player uses hatching, the other dots.
1. Draw a tall window with a rounded top.
2. Draw a few long straight lines across it, edge to edge.
3. Add shorter lines between them until there are about twenty panes.
4. One player shades panes with lines, the other with dots.
How to play
- On your turn, fill one empty pane with your pattern.
- You may not fill a pane that shares a side with your rival's pattern.
- Touching at a corner is allowed, and so is touching your own panes.
How to win
Be the last player able to fill a pane. If it is your turn and there is no pane you may fill, you lose.
Tip Reverse mode: you may not touch your own panes instead. Try both!
