The next chapter for the Party will be finished up soon so I figured I'd let the players prepare for the next game by explaining the instructions of how the game plays.

Each player is given a color to represent them and each player is given equal territory like in Figure A where 4 players (Red, Blue, Yellow, and Green) are given 4 territory each on a 4X4 grid.

Every day each player will be allowed a change 3 spots on the board to a different color. You can pick any spot and change it to any color you want. In figure B, the Green territory on spot (C,3) is made into Blue Territory.

Now if several touching territories are the same color they become linked. If any of those territories are changed all the territories change. In Figure C continuing from Figure B if (B,3), (C,3), or (D,3) are changed (in this case to Red) the other two are changed as well.

Finally, I, the Jester get a turn at the end of the day as well. With my turn I can erase a random territory from the board and that territory becomes removed from the game and just like you the linked territories work for me too.

The game ends when one color is completely removed from the board.

Any questions?
