Dots & Boxes

A simple pen and paper game for two players.

How to try it:

• Draw a grid of equally spaced dots (around 10 x 10).

• Take turns drawing one straight line between two neighbouring dots.

• Lines can be horizontal or vertical only.

• If you complete a square, write your initial inside it and take another turn.

• If no square is made, play passes to the other player.

• Keep going until all possible lines are drawn.

• The player with the most squares at the end wins.
