Paddachee is a class of two-player games in which you earn points by forming patterns. Players alternate turns claiming cells on a square or hexagonal grid. Complete one of the scoring patterns and you earn its point value. Different patterns and point values produce games with different strategies and scoring pace.

You can play against another person or a computer opponent with adjustable smartness. Immediate scoring threats are shown on the board so that points do not come as a surprise. Beginners may want to start with Square and Line or Four in a Row.
