What is Dots and Boxes?

This is a turn-based strategic classic puzzle where the timeless eras of paper and pencil meet a digital backdrop of a grid dotted map where you battle the computer for land by completing boxes. On his or her turn, the player draws either a horizontal or vertical line between adjacent dots. The player who completes a box earns a point and an extra move. When all the boxes are filled, the player with most points wins. It is a simple but addictive game that tests the conceptualization of strategic thinking and decision-making.

How to Play

The game is simple:

Lines are drawn between the dots by you and the computer, turn by turn.
The player who has completed the last side of a box claims the box and scores a point.
Once all the boxes are claimed in the game, the player with the most boxes wins.
The computer AI sets its own difficulty depending on how the player performs, making the game harder as the player becomes more proficient.

Tips & Tricks

Always Think Ahead: It is obvious to think just for the next move but it is important to forecast two or three moves ahead and analyze how the action could provide an opening.
Block the Computer: Look for opportunities that the computer might exploit to claim boxes and prevent them from doing so.
Control the Center: A good strategy is to take control of the grid's central area, as it provides many opportunities to link up and complete boxes.
Don't Rush: Consider all moves carefully. Hasty decisions result in missed opportunities or advantage for the computer.
