Dots and Boxes

Train your brain muscles with the help of this challenging puzzle game! Dots and Boxes is a classic 2-player board game that defies even the best strategist.

The rules and the gameplay are very simple, making it accessible to players of all ages and backgrounds. You and your opponent will take turns adding one line at a time to the board to connect two dots. Only dots adjacent horizontally and vertically can be connected.

Your goal is to keep adding lines to eventually connect them to create a box. The player that places the line that closes the box takes it over and can play again. This is a strategy game in which you must simultaneously play to create the boxes and prevent your opponent from taking advantage of your work,

Will you succeed?
