About Dot Dominion

Dot Dominion is an area game played with numbers instead of pieces. Your hand holds three numbers from one to three, and a dot claims every empty square in its own row and column within that many steps. Ground that has been claimed never changes hands, so the whole match is about timing a three onto an open line.

The rival places dots on exactly the same rules and always takes its best available move, which means a three spent on a crowded row is a three wasted. The score counts ground held rather than dots placed.
