The rectangle must be connected to your existing territory.
The first players first rectangle is placed in a corner. The second players first rectangle in the opposing corner.
If you cannot make the rectangle generated you skip your turn.
When all space is filled you end the game.
The one with the most territory wins.
Strategy:
Any unclaimed territory cut off from your opponents territory will eventually be yours. Like the unnumbered squares in minesweeper it is free real estate. Try to cut of an area as large as possible from your opponent to get as much of this as possible. If both players follow this strategy it’s almost entierly based on luck.
Variations:
You could also elliminate a player when they cannot place their rectangle. Then the other player get roll for as long as they can place their rectangles. This version is much more strategic.

Hey I’m seeing tons of posts like this and as a person w chronic stomach issues, it’s because you’re overloading your system and not allowing your metabolism the chance to ‘wake up’.
Your body is hungry and thirsty, but drinking cold or hot beverages, and eating things saturated with heavy fats and carbs as soon as you wake up will ALWAYS make you sick.
Drinking room temperature (disgusting) water, OR mildly cool water (just cool to the fingers) first thing will prevent this. My fave thing to do is freeze a few lemon slices and throw them in a glass of room temp water, then drink it. It isn’t as severe as ice water or hot drinks. The lemon also helps your metabolism and makes the water not super gross. When you drink cold or hot bevs, you’re shocking your stomach since it’s (probably) almost entirely empty. It irritates the mucous membranes and can cause inflammation of the acid pumps.
Also you need to eat something small first. Like if you’re going to have toast and eggs, eat half a piece of toast and try to sit for like 5 minutes before continuing to eat the rest of your meal. Every time I instantly start eating full meals, I get very sick and nauseous. I used to keep a sleeve of crackers in my night stand drawer, and I’d eat 2-3 and drink a class of cool water right when I woke up. That way, by the time I was awake/dressed/made my full breakfast, my stomach was ready to eat. A spoon full of peanut butter is also a great choice.
If you’re still feeling sick after eating, keeping peppermints or peppermint gum (they gotta be peppermint) on hand is an easy way to settle the stomach. Ginger tea too. I try to avoid soda in the mornings now, but when I was in high school my breakfast was a can of ginger ale and a blueberry cliff bar almost every day because it didn’t hurt my stomach.
So if you’re feeling a bit sick, try taking it a bit slower. I know we’re all strapped for time and this seems like a lot, but even just switching to a milder temperature drink in the morning can help a lot.
There are a couple of things to consider, anonymous.
First, I would hate to say it, but service pokémon are typically trained for their tasks from birth. That isn’t to say your own pokémon can’t help you in their own way, but official service pokémon often need at least a year of task training and public training. You see, being a service pokémon isn’t just about knowing how to perform the tasks a human partner may need. It’s also about knowing how to be professional and calm at all times while on the job, and it’s about knowing how to focus, even in the most distracting of situations. For example, if a pet growlithe barks threateningly at a service growlithe, the service growlithe must know how to remain composed enough to focus on their work, not on attacking the other growlithe. Likewise, service pokémon must be calm and collected, even in settings jam-packed with people or in situations that are life-threatening to either their human partner or themselves (or both).
In some cases, a battle-ready pokémon may be taught to become a service pokémon, but to do so effectively, they must attend training with a specialized trainer, one who is not only capable of teaching a pokémon how to assist with their human partner’s disability but also how to heel and obey properly in any situation. This trainer must be certified for service training, and at the completion of the pokémon’s education, that pokémon must undergo thorough examination to ensure they can work reliably at all times. Only then may a pokémon be awarded the license to be a service pokémon. However, it’s also worth it to note that not every region allows for this process to happen with battle-ready pokémon, as battle-ready pokémon often react to situations with a battlefield mindset (that is to say, by attacking or preparing itself to attack), even years after retirement. Among the regions where you can train any retired battle-ready pokémon to become a service animal, you have Unova, Alola, and Kalos. For all others, it’s highly recommended that you double-check your local regulations.
That having been said, though, most species can be service pokémon. The only exceptions are cases in which the pokémon would pose a threat to surrounding humans (such as grimer, muk, and cryogonal) or are far too large to be usable (onix, steelix, wailord, gyarados, milotic, and Alolan exeggutor). Pokémon that have difficulties traveling on land (most aquatic pokémon) as well as pokémon that are made up of materials that may be detrimental to their environment (slugma and magcargo) tend to have varying regulations associated with them, depending on the region. In Hoenn and Alola, all of these pokémon are perfectly legal, but in Sinnoh, they’re barred. Of course, keep in mind that if you’re traveling to other regions, the only thing that matters if where your pokémon got its papers from, not whether or not your service pokémon is legal in the region you’re currently in. For example, if your service pokémon is a goldeen, you can travel anywhere you’d like with it. It’s just that if you live in Sinnoh, you can’t get a goldeen service pokémon. Also, you may have difficulties, as Sinnoh is a primarily mountainous region with an abundance of land routes that your goldeen may struggle with, but the point is, your service goldeen will still be legal.
So in conclusion, it’s possible to retire your pikachu and train it to be an official service pokémon. However, it really depends on which region you live in and whether or not you’re willing to have your pikachu undergo a full year of training. You can still travel with him, however, as it’s possible to set him as pet or companion pokémon, or one that you’re incapable of using for battle, so if you’re not willing to go through all that hassle, that’s an option as well.
