territory scoring

Territory scoring is a way of measuring control over different areas in a game, typically in board games like Go or strategy games. Players earn points based on the size and security of the areas they control. Controlling more secure zones—those surrounded or protected—yields higher scores, while areas left unclaimed or contested may result in fewer points. Essentially, the goal is to expand and strengthen your control over territory to maximize your score, reflecting your strategic dominance in the game.
