Klick-Klock

A new pencil-and-paper game for one or two players. Taking turns, players draw straight lines on a grid of n × n dots, with n ≥ 3. Each line must connect at least 3 dots, all adjacent. From the second move, each line that is drawn must contain exactly one dot from the previous line. Lines may not be partially or totally overlapping. On each turn, and after having drawn a line, the player has the option of removing a free dot from the grid—that is, a dot that is not part of any line. The player who makes the last move wins.
