Line Clash
Lay lines of three squares on an eight by eight board against a bot. Your lines must touch your own, so you grow a territory and can wall the bot in. Hold more squares at the end to win.

How to play
- Choose Across or Down, then tap the square where the line starts. The line covers three squares and the preview shows where it will land.
- Your first line can go anywhere. Every later line has to touch one of your own lines along an edge.
- The bot plays the same way in red. A side with no place left to lay a line passes, and the other side keeps going.
- When neither side can lay a line, the side with more squares wins.
Controls: mouse or touch. Made by CalcoTools.
Tips and strategy
- Block early: a line across the bot's growing edge can leave it with nowhere to go.
- Do not wall yourself in. Keep a few open squares beside your own lines to grow into.
- Start near the middle so you have room in every direction, or near a corner if you want a safe, small territory.
- The bot looks at how many lines each side could still lay, so take away its choices rather than just filling space.
FAQ
- Why can I not lay a line?
- A line must fit on three free squares in a row and, after your first line, touch one of your own lines along an edge.
- Does the bot cheat?
- No. It follows the same rules and sometimes picks its second or third best line instead of the best.
- What happens on a draw?
- If both sides hold the same number of squares it is a draw and it does not count as a win.
