…fuck, I went full nostalgia. I used to play something similar but simpler in my childhood, we [my classmates and me] knew it as “território” (territory). It’s like this:
Two players. Each with a pencil and a piece of coloured chalk (“borrowed” from the blackboard).
Board: initially we used the back of someone’s maths notebook, for the grid. Then maps copied from the Geography book. Then handmade “maps” with 100~200 territories.
Each player chooses a territory to begin with, and places their token (the piece of chalk) there. Good spots are close to the centre.
Players take turns. On your turn, you need to strike the territory below your token, and move it to an adjacent blank (non-striked) territory.
If you can’t move your token, you lose.
If the other player proves that they have more turns than you, because your “free area” is considerably smaller than theirs, you lose.
In a hindsight the game was extremely shallow, but it was fun for a bunch of bored 8~10yos to play between classes.
