Description
Connecticut is a drawless connection game for two players: Black and White. It's played on the intersections (points) of an initially empty square board. The suggested board size is 19x19. The top and bottom edges of the board are colored black; the left and right edges are colored white.



PlayBlack plays first, by putting a single stone down on the board, then turns alternate.

On subsequent turns, either player may either place a single stone down on the board or a 1x3 triomino.

The game is won by the player who completes a chain of orthogonally or diagonally adjacent stones of their color touching the two opposite board edges of their color. Draws are not possible.



Pie ruleThe pie rule is used in order to make the game fair. This means that White will have the option, on his first turn only, to change sides instead of making a regular move.
