Two play and each uses a different colored pencil. Choose <br>
for first and first player places a dot of his  <br>
color at any intersection (including those of only 2 lines <br>
if he wishes). Then the second player places a dot. Then  <br>
the first player draws along a line from a dot to an adjacent <br>
intersection. Similarly with 2nd player. Then first player <br>
can draw a new line from either end of his first line. <br>
Etc.  The only limitation is that the same line cannot <br>
be traversed more than once. When one player can make <br>
no further moves the other <s>can</s> continues making as many <br>
additional lines as he can, counting one point for each. <br>
(I think it would be preferable to score 10 points for the <br>
1st line and 1 point for each there after.) <br>
The game was popular and I won all those I played.
