Second Chance*

Each player starts with a 9×9 grid that they aim to fill as completely as possible. At the beginning, players receive different cards that indicate their starting fields and mark them on their grids.

In each round, two puzzle cards are revealed, and players choose one to outline squares on their personal grid that match the shape of the chosen card. If a player cannot fit either shape into their grid, they get a second chance by revealing a card just for them. The game ends when all players are out, the stack of puzzle cards is depleted, or a player completely fills their grid. If someone fills their grid, they win; if all players are out or the cards run out, the player with the fewest empty spaces wins.
