Hermit Boxes
You and another player are taking turns placing one block of any color (red, yellow, or blue) so that it covers either one or two squares of the board. Blocks of the same color may not touch, not even diagonally. If it’s now your turn, what color block should you place, and on which square(s), to ensure that after your next turn, the opponent will have no legal placement?
