Chomp is played on a rectangular grid - a 3 by 8 grid in this game - such as squares of a candy bar. The lower left red square is considered "poison". Players take turns picking a square. With each choice, all squares above and to the right of the picked square are no longer available --they are eaten. The person forced to take the "poison" square loses.[br]
