Question 1

Why can't I pick my opponent's color?

Accepted Answer

It's the classic Filler rule: the two colors in play are off limits, your own because it would change nothing, and your opponent's so two touching territories never share a color. It also makes blocking possible, since taking a color keeps your opponent from it on their next turn.

Question 2

How do I play with a friend?

Accepted Answer

Choose Online room, create a room and send the five-character code or the link. No account is needed. The host picks the grid size and starts once both players are in. Rooms are deleted 24 hours after the last activity.

Question 3

What happens if someone leaves?

Accepted Answer

Leaving a game in progress ends it, and the player who stayed wins. A player whose connection drops shows as away and has five minutes to come back before that happens. If the host leaves, the other player becomes the host.

Question 4

Can we play on one device?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Local 2-player uses the same board and rules: take your turn, then pass the device.

Question 5

Can I play against the computer?

Accepted Answer

Not yet. Turf War is for two people for now.

Question 6
