Paper.IO 2 is a quick, competitive territory game where you start with a small island and expand your borders by drawing outside your safe zone, then rejoining your land to claim it. Rivals can slice your trail if you are outside your area, so every expansion is a calculated risk. If you enjoy fast reactions and tactical choices, it fits perfectly in Arcade Games and brainy Strategy Games. You can also squad up vibes in our Multiplayer Games.
