How Squarin' Off starts

About Squarin' Off, from BoardGameGeek:

A game based off the old childhood game of Connect-the-Dots, but played with single, double and triple-point squares to enhance a level of strategy Complete as many squares as possible by filling in all four sides of a square with pegs while trying to give your opponents as few squares as possible. The player with the most points (not necessarily the most squares) wins. -description from the publisher
