Object: Occupy more area than your opponent.

You play as Red against Blue.
This game is designed for human versus human.
For both players, the system creates the area you want.
First click the board to allow Zillions to drop a few black squares.
The black squares are neutral.
When you play against the computer, the system will NOT find the largest rectangle.

In each move you paint a rectangle with your colour.
You do this by clicking the top left corner first, then the lower right corner.
Your rectangle may not include any black squares or any of your opponent's squares.

To balance the advantage of the first player, he may only create a rectangle of width 1 (i.e., a row or file) in his first move.

If you cannot move (i.e. you are stalemated), the system will count the pieces and announce the winner, namely the player occupying the larger area.

Variant 2: played on the bigger 30x30 board.
Variants 3,4: Here you are allowed to include in your new rectangle some positions that you already own.
Variants 5,6: Your new rectangle must be adjacent to your previous rectangle (i.e. have a piece of border in common).
Note that with this adjacent-condition a player may voluntarily move himself into a stalemate position and force an early end of the game, which is to his advantage if he is ahead.
Variants 7-12: Like variants 1-6, but in the first move Red can occupy only a single 1x1 square.

Please note that there is several alternative piece sets.
This game now needs Zillions V2.0 to run.
