About Dots and boxes
Dots and boxes brings the school-notebook classic to your screen. Players take turns drawing a single line between two neighboring dots. Whoever draws the fourth side of a box claims it, scores a point and must take an extra move straight away. The rules take a minute to learn, but the real battle happens near the end, when long chains of boxes open up and one careless line can hand them all to your opponent. You can change your color and the board size, and play the computer, a friend on the same device or an online opponent. Avoiding the third side of any box for as long as possible is the simplest way to stay safe.
