Rules
Foldshot is a modern digital adaptation of the classic game of precision, symmetry, and spatial awareness. Two opponents take turns placing dots on their own field, and the game automatically mirrors them onto the opponent's field.
The winner is the player who judges distances most accurately and understands the logic of mirrored coordinates.
