The game was created by Edward De Bono, introduced in his book "The Five-Day Course in Thinking" (1967) designed to be a very simple game. The rules are very simple, but it could actually take over 4 days to finish one round. Or, if you are lucky, you could finish it in a few minutes, or anything between that.</p><p>The rules are simple;</p><p>Grab a friend, as it is a two-player game. Select which L piece you want. (they must be different colors, so no confusion arises. Print each L- Piece separately, unless you plan on coloring the L- Pieces afterward)</p><p>find the image titled Starting placements in the how-to PDF to see how it is set up. (Credit to Wikipedia)</p><p>When it is your turn, take your L- piece, and place it anywhere you please, as long it is taking up 4 total empty spaces on the board, and not passing the edge of the board. You must do the following each turn.</p><p>once you have done so, move any neutral piece to a new empty space. you must also do so every turn.</p><p>The goal is to get your opponent to not be able to successfully move their L- piece anywhere on the board without passing the board's boundaries.</p><p>And again, even though the rules seem simple, the game could technically go on forever. Or you could make it last a few minutes. If you end up playing an extensive game, I suggest setting it somewhere "Out of the way" yet still accessible, so whenever you wish, you could go through a few turns.</p><p>To see all possible winning positions (the winner being blue) See Winning positions in the how-to PDF</p><p>Enjoy the Game!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>this is where I found the idea for this print. also has a very well done explanation of the game&nbsp;</p><figure class="media"><oembed url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64pA31_WJa0"></oembed></figure>
