Grid Occupation

Description

»The strategy game G.O. is a social game where the player is put to the test, how well he knows himself and his friends.«

You find yourself on a virtual playing field called the grid on which you compete against up to six players.
The goal of the game is to conquer as many fields as possible within a fixed period (eg. 24 hours / 72 hours / 1 week). Clue in winning the game is that you can conquer the next field only within a fixed time. Time is of the essence. Take strategically important positions first to gain an advantage! No game similar. Every game is unique. Even if everyone is playing for themselves, it is possible to gang up to outmaneuver a third player!
