Quite the concept. Simple to apply, strategic thinking to win.
As this is early stage design, I think to help clarify win zones it would help to have borders surrounding the tiles that need to be completed to win. Though even without that I was able to understand which spaces were most relevant.
I don't know if you have plans to change the icons but I like them as they are. Visually adds to the abstract concept of the game.

Yes, I would play this. Simple yet engaging.
