About this game

Dots and Boxes or Dots and Lines is a classic pen and paper game.

Starting with an empty grid of dots, players take turns, adding a single horizontal or vertical line between two unjoined adjacent dots.
A player who completes the fourth side of a 1×1 box earns one point and takes another turn. The game ends when no more lines can be placed. The winner of the game is the player with the most points.

It was first published in the 19th century by Édouard Lucas, who called it la pipopipette.

Ratings and reviews

Very laggy, in my first game I was completing a run of boxes slowly, because it's so laggy and it still managed not to register one of my lines, but did register the next one, meaning the game was able to complete the rest of the boxes. I've no idea how such a simple game can be so slow to respond.

Vibrates too much cz I'm not able to draw my line properly.. Can you think of a better way to ease the line marking.. I know this is common way... But sometimes it looks tough.. I mark a wrong place... Otherwise.. This is an amazingggg game!! Thank yu

Never knew name of this game, but remember grabbing a piece of paper, and two sharpened pencils. Would make board game buy making dots similar to these, and two of us would mark squares with the letter of our first name. Till this day, dont remember where I learned this game, but truly classic game. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐!
