Welcome to tonight's Elimination, Gate Guardian.
In this elimination, all FOUR players will play simultaneously on the same board with the winner of each matchup being those who win the elimination.
This game is essentially the game of Dots and Boxes.
The board is a 10x10 board of dots which when connected correctly could make a box grid of a 9x9 board of 81 squares.
You will take turns connecting 2 squares horizontally or vertically with that forming 1 side of a box. When you create the 4th side and close the box you claim the box and that is 1 point for you.
However, there is a twist. For this challenge when you connect 2 dots you will be on the board. In order to connect 2 dots and make that "gate" you will walk through that gate and be standing on the square you go through to pass it. Your next move must then be on one of the sides of the current box you are in. For each move you MUST pass through the gate in order to close it. The only exception is if you are closing the last gate of a box to claim the square you do not need to walk through it as you would then be boxed in. If the last side you close is on the outside border of the box you can re-enter at any other border point.
The player in each matchup who claim the most squares wins this elimination and stays in the game while the losers are out.
The board will be updated by me here:

Either is fine.
