## Description

Dots and Boxes — the pencil-and-paper classic, now on your phone.<br><br>Draw a line between two neighbouring dots. Close the fourth side of a box and it&#39;s yours — score a point and go again. Whoever closes the most boxes wins. Simple to learn, hard to master once chains come into play.<br><br>FEATURES<br><br>• Board sizes: 3×3, 4×4, 5×5, 6×6, 10×10, or set a custom size from 3×3 up to 20×20<br>• Play modes: 2 players on one device, or challenge the CPU on Easy, Normal, or Hard<br>• 6 themes: Chalk, Meadow, Coral, Slate, Neon, and Black, including dark palettes<br>• Stats: games played, games won, boxes closed, longest chain, and your best score per board size<br>• Undo moves, resume your game after closing the app, and a built-in rules screen<br><br>HOW TO PLAY<br><br>Two players take turns drawing one line between two neighbouring dots. Draw the fourth side of a box and it&#39;s yours — it takes your colour, scores a point, and you get another turn. Chain enough boxes together and one turn can sweep half the board.<br><br>The trap: never draw the third side of a box, or you hand it straight to your opponent. Late game, whoever is forced to open a long chain usually loses it — when nothing safe is left, open the shortest one.<br><br>No ads getting in the way, no accounts, no clutter. Just the game.
