Description

Sprouts is a simple yet strategic game for two players that's easy to learn and can be played in just 10 minutes. Invented by John Conway and Michael Stewart Paterson in 1967, it's a great example of an abstract strategy game that's all about outmaneuvering your opponent. The game starts with a few spots on a piece of paper, and players take turns drawing curves to connect them, adding new spots as they go. The twist is that each spot can only have three curves attached to it, and no curves can intersect. This means that players need to think carefully about their moves to block their opponent's options and create new opportunities for themselves. With its unique blend of creativity and strategy, Sprouts is a fun and challenging game that's perfect for players of all ages and skill levels.
