Maker’s note
Two-minute rounds against five painters. Leave your turf and you trail a line that anyone can cut, so every loop is a bet on how far you dare go. Painted tiles fade after forty-five seconds unless you walk over them again, so land grabs need upkeep. Score is the share of the map you hold at the final whistle plus a bonus for every rival you reset.

Flat pastel colour, chunky friendly shapes and a hop that squashes when it lands: short runs that fit in a pocket.
