Knight's Lines Strategy Game

The Knight’s lines game will help your child develop critical thinking and logical reasoning skills. Every time you play, you should try to improve your strategy and see what works better. Watch your learning curve grow exponentially.

This game is played on a square grid, using two colored markers. Each set of opposite sides of the square have the same color. Flip a coin or do rock-paper-scissors to determine who goes first. Player 1 tries to connect the red sides of the game board, while player 2 tries to connect the blue sides. All moves are knight's moves using straight lines from one corner (vertex) to another. The routes are not permitted to cross and players 1 and 2 may not share a vertex (however, one player may share his/her own vertex). Remember, knight's move two squares in any direction and then turns right or left one square or one square in any direction and then turns right or left two squares. 

HINT: you will want to make MANY game boards as you will love this game. See examples on opposite page.
