Ways to play
Four corners
Players win by marking the four corner squares, which makes a quick opening round.
Speed round
Use 3x3 cards and call quickly. Rounds last about a minute and keep energy high.
Letter X
Mark both diagonals for a win, a good medium-length round.
Blackout finale
End with a coverall round where every square must be marked. It's the longest round, so give it the best prize.

Printing and setup
Outdoor games are hard on paper. Laminate the cards or use sheet protectors, and mark with crayons or grease pencils. Indoors, use counters or small snacks as markers.
