PopuGame Rules
- Players alternate turns placing one token on an empty square.
- You cannot place a token on a square currently claimed by the opponent.
- If your move forms a continuous line of at least 3 of your tokens (horizontal, vertical, or diagonal), a claim is triggered.
- The triggered token line is removed, then claim territory extends along that line in both directions until blocked by board edge or an opponent token.
- Claims may overwrite opponent claims, but does not remove opponent tokens.
- Score equals the number of currently claimed squares.
- The game ends at the turn limit. Highest score wins; equal scores are a draw.
I played this game in the POPUCOM minigames section, and I couldn't find any real game it was based off of when searching afterwards.
