Stake Your Claims game board
One of a stack of low-budget board-type games. The basic story is here: Vintage Games and Playing Pieces. There’s a list of the games below.
Here’s a familiar one for 2 to 4 players. For Stake Your Claims, first break 30 toothpicks in half. These are to be used for enclosing the squares. The object of the game is to complete as many squares as possible by putting down the last stick. Each player in turn attempts to stake his claim by covering one of the red lines with a stick, at the same time trying to prevent his opponent from closing a square in his next move.
When a player completes a squarehe puts a marker on that square, scores it, and is allowed an extra turn. The player claiming most of the squares wins the game.
