hello! I really enjoy the game but have some questions.

Is it legal for a player to draw a line on their next turn, which just extend the line they drew earlier on the same straight line (identical to a line on the original grid crossing multiple points) ? It may play well when both players are draw with inner points. But the game went strange when both players are continually connecting points on the outline of  the original grid to prevent opponent from scoring. It’s just to see who is the one can make a legal move at the end. How to prevent this situation to happen? Is it necessary to prevent it?

When a player can’t draw according to rules. Is the game immediately end or the opponent goes on? If a player can’t draw because they just crossed an opponent’s line last turn and stuck with opponent ‘s line this turn, can they draw after skipping a turn?

Can I use the diagrams on this page when I introduce this game to others or translate the rules to other language?

Thanks!

Hi dnobi! Thanks for the comment. Huh, I never considered that drawing subsequent lines in the same direction could lead to a stale-mate. Can you try out a few matches with the rule "You can't draw lines in successive turns in the same direction, unless having no other option"? And see how it plays, maybe this rule will make it better? Let me know :)

Otherwise, sure, you can use the diagrams.

Thanks! I’ll try it later! And I think it’s better that the game ends immediately after one could not move. 

Thanks for your reply!

Ah yeah, sorry about not replying to the second question. So, the game ends when the person whose turn it is can't make a move in that turn. It doesn't end in the previous turn yet.

Thanks!
