Spread

Spread is a strategy puzzle game about conquering territory using color, where you must expand your control by outsmarting your opponent to claim the largest area.

Spread – A Strategy Game of Territorial Conquest Through Color

Spread transforms familiar colors into a tactical battle of wits on a dynamic game board. Instead of controlling characters or building squads, you directly expand your territory by selecting the right colors. Every move can either accelerate your expansion or inadvertently give your opponent an advantage.

Game mechanics

Players begin with a controlled area on the board and select colors to absorb adjacent tiles of the matching hue. The goal is to control the largest area before the board is completely filled. Meanwhile, your opponent starts from the opposite corner and continuously expands their own territory. Play strategically to curb your opponent's growth and secure victory.

Key color rules

Spread imposes certain limitations that require careful consideration for every move. You cannot select your current color or your opponent's current color. Instead of simply picking the color that yields the most immediate territory, choose the option that sets you up for a future advantage.

Strategies to maximize territory

  • Prioritize chain expansion: Look for colors that connect to multiple tiles surrounding your current territory.
  • Monitor your opponent's moves: Tracking your opponent's colored zones helps you identify contested areas.
  • Calculate your approach: Carefully consider both location and timing before changing colors.
