About the game
Objective Occupy all four corners of a square on the 6 x 6 grid. The winning square can be of any size (1 x 1, 2 x 2, 3 x 3, 4 x 4, 5 x 5, or 6 x 6), but must line up with the gridlines. Diamond shapes do not count. Game Play This is a two player game. Each player takes a turn placing a stone on an intersection on the grid. Black moves first, and can place the first stone anywhere. White now places a stone anywhere on the board. Blacks' second move must be located at least three rows, or columns, from their first stone. There are no restrictions on any future game moves. If the first player elects to play in the corner on their first move they may place a stone anywhere on the board on their second. If one player occupies three corners of a square, and can win the game on their next move, they must announce it to the other player. The game is won when a player makes a single move that produces multiple winning moves for the following turn.

Questions and answers
Lattice supports 2 players according to the catalogue. This is the publisher’s listed player count, so the game is designed for exactly that number of participants. Variants for other group sizes, if any, are described in the rulebook of your edition, so check it before setting up a different configuration.
The listed playing time for Lattice is 2–15 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Lattice for ages 5 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Lattice has a complexity rating of 1.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
Lattice belongs to these categories: Abstract Strategy. Its main mechanics are Tile Placement, Square Grid, and Grid Movement. Categories describe the theme and setting of a game, while mechanics describe what players actually do on their turns.

The catalogue lists Lattice as a base game. It can be played on its own with the components in the box and does not require any other title. Expansions, if any exist, add new content or rules on top of it and are listed separately in the catalogue with a link back to this base game.
