Dots and Boxes

Dots and Boxes is a classic pencil-and-paper strategy game. Take turns drawing lines between adjacent dots – complete the fourth side of a box to claim it and score a point.

Click between two dots to draw a line. When you complete a box, it fills with your color (blue) and you get an extra turn. You can chain multiple boxes in a single turn!

Winning: The game ends when all boxes are claimed. The player with the most boxes wins. If the scores are equal, it is a draw.

Strategy tip: Avoid giving your opponent long chains of boxes. Sometimes it is better to sacrifice a small group to keep control of the board.

Use the Undo button to take back moves. Change difficulty at any time – the change takes effect on the next AI turn.
