Over time, the points have evolved, acquired their own rules and strategies, significantly different from go. The dot game has become a paper adaptation of go and has spread so rapidly that it is no longer possible to locate its origin. An obstacle to even wider development was the lack of the necessary equipment. Articles about the ancient game were published in serious publications, such as the magazine "Science and Life", in many cities go-lovers' clubs were opened, and tournaments were held. In the seventies of the last century, there was a surge in the popularity of the Chinese game of go in the Soviet Union. English dots and Polish kropki are translated as "dots". The game has several names that are not widely used: "feudal lords", "cities", "hacienda".

To win, you need to surround the opponent's points with your points from all sides. On the field in a cage, players take turns putting dots at the junctions of the vertical and horizontal lines.
