Dots And Boxes

Dots and Boxes — the pencil-and-paper classic, now on your phone.

Draw a line between two neighbouring dots. Close the fourth side of a box and it's yours — score a point and go again. Whoever closes the most boxes wins. Simple to learn, hard to master once chains come into play.

HOW TO PLAY

Two players take turns drawing one line between two neighbouring dots. Draw the fourth side of a box and it's yours — it takes your colour, scores a point, and you get another turn. Chain enough boxes together and one turn can sweep half the board.

The trap: never draw the third side of a box, or you hand it straight to your opponent. Late game, whoever is forced to open a long chain usually loses it — when nothing safe is left, open the shortest one.

No ads getting in the way, no accounts, no clutter. Just the game.
