Welcome to random Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of a random Wikipedia page every day.
The random article for Friday, 20 September 2019 is Cram (game).
Cram is a mathematical game played on a sheet of graph paper. It is the impartial version of Domineering and the only difference in the rules is that each player may place their dominoes in either orientation, but it results in a very different game. It has been called by many names, including "plugg" by Geoffrey Mott-Smith, and "dots-and-pairs." Cram was popularized by Martin Gardner in Scientific American.
This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:15 UTC on Friday, 20 September 2019.
