Lines (Color Lines)
A simultaneous seeded race on individual 9×9 boards to form lines of five or more matching balls.
Board and Simultaneous Play
2–4 players compete simultaneously on their own 9×9 boards with 7 ball colors.
- Shared RNG Seeds: Every player receives the exact same sequence of colors and preferred spawn positions.
- Movement: Each turn, every player moves one ball along an unblocked orthogonal path (BFS).
- Scoring Lines: Forming a line of 5 or more matching balls (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally) clears those balls and awards points (
n × (n − 4) × 2), suppressing the new spawn for that turn. - Spawning: If no line is formed, 3 previewed balls spawn on empty squares.
- Game End: When all boards are full or after 100 turns, highest score wins.
