How to play Sim

Introduction to Sim

Sim is one of the paper-and-pencil games that is played by 2 players.

It consists of 6 dots. And every dot is connected and forms a hexagon shape. The number of diagonal can be calculated using this formula (1/2)(6 - 3)(6) = 9. Thus, the number of lines that connected to each other is 9 + 6 = 15. 

Rules in Sim

The main rule for this game is to not form a triangle shape

The first player will have to use a coloured pen or highlighter to draw on the line. Then the second player should use another coloured pen or highlighter and continue to draw on the line that is not occupied. 

Once a player draws out a shape of a triangle which is formed by 3 lines of the same colour, then the game is over.

Example Game 1

That shape is not considered as the triangle shape since they are from different colours. Thus, this game is not finished yet since there are no triangle formed

Example Game 2

In this game, the player with the blue colour pen loses the game because he has formed a triangle with the sides that have the same colour.

Example Game 3

In this game, the player with the red colour pen loses the game because he has formed at least one triangle with the sides that have the same colour.
