Strings-and-Coins

You can play a dual form of Dots-and-Boxes, called Strings-and-Coins, with strings, coins, and scissors. The ends of each piece of string are glued to two different coins or to a coin and the ground (each string has at most one end glued to the ground) and each player in turn cuts a new string. If your cut completely detaches a coin, you pocket it and must then cut another string (if there’s one still uncut). The game ends when all coins are detached and the player who pockets the greater number is the winner.
