About Paper IO

Paper IO is a territory-conquest game where you control a colored square on a shared board. Venture outside your territory to claim new land — but be careful, because your trail is vulnerable while you are outside your zone. If an opponent crosses your trail before you close the loop, you are eliminated. Strategically expand your territory, cut off opponents, and conquer the largest possible area. With its simple controls but deep strategic possibilities, Paper IO delivers intense, competitive gameplay.

Tips & Strategies

Make small, safe expansions rather than risky large loops

Stay close to your territory edge so you can return quickly

Attack opponents when they are far from their territory with a long trail

Watch your back — opponents may try to cut off your trail from behind

Claim corners and edges first — they are easier to defend
