Paper and pencil games: Dots

I was bored in a meeting waiting for others to show up.
There were some colored pencils and some graph paper, so my friend and I played games with it,
waiting for others to show up. 
I especially like territory capture games, and when I was shown the concept of
putting dots and making lines, we arranged the idea to be more fun and exciting, yet fair to both players.

Dots is a fun, interactive game where you could play up to 4 players (more will make the game confusing)
where you take turns plotting points and make territories bigger than your opponent.
When making territories, you don't need to surround dots, you just need to make a territory by connecting the dots.


The few rules you need to follow are:
1.You have to make a area that is more-sided than a triangle
2. Once an area is made, points inside are no longer usable.
3.You could use the sides of an area to make a new area.
4. You could surround an area with a another area. In that case, the area surrounded will not count as a area anymore.
5.You're not allowed to pass

Here's a video of people playing the game:

Enjoy playing the game and have fun!

Step 1 Rule 1: Basics

In this game, you have to grid a 4 sided shape or more.
3 sided shapes are illegal in this game, because it will make the game chaotic.
Also, the points have to be side by side, directly vertical, or directly diagnol.
