How do I actually take ground?

Drive off your patch, go round in a loop, and come back onto your own colour. Everything the loop closed off fills in.

What happens to a rival's ground when I cut them?

It goes back to nobody. You still have to go and take it.

No. You are always moving, so the only thing you choose is where to turn.

About Turf Taker

You start on a small red patch. Step off it and a line follows you; get back onto red and everything the line closed off turns red too. That is the whole game, and the line is also the danger — cross your own and the run ends, and a rival who reaches it before you get home ends it for you. Three rivals are doing the same thing in blue. The wider you swing, the more comes back with you.
