Dots and Boxes
One line a turn. Close a box and you go again.
2 to 6 players · Head-to-head · Quick · About 3 to 6 min · Tapping · Great against computer players
How to play
- On your turn, draw one line between two neighbouring dots.
- Draw the fourth side of a square and you claim it, then you go again.
- So the trick is never handing over a box you could have kept.
- When every line is drawn, whoever owns the most boxes wins.
