Scaffold is a drawless connection game played on the intersections of a square grid using stones (as in Go). Black is trying to connect N-S edges of the board, White E-W with an orthogonally connected group.

scaffold boardDefinitions
Group: Either a single stone (a group of one) or any number of stones of the same color connected through a continuous series of orthogonal adjacencies.

Play
First player places a single black stone on any grid intersection, after which the second player decides which color they will play (pie rule). Note: in our app, click the Black stone to take the pie/position, but you remain White.
Players then alternate taking turns.

On your turn, place a stone of your color on an empty point. Then, if possible, place a stone of your color on an empty point that is orthogonally adjacent to two groups of your color, and keep making such placements until no more are possible.
