Read the full game description
Fendo is a board game in which players take turns placing and moving their pieces. There are also neutral fences available that must be placed between the spaces to enclose areas. As more areas are split off the initial large open area and closed, the number of possible actions decreases. When no more actions remain, the game ends, and the player with the largest total territory wins.
