Win Boxes

Win Boxes

The pen-and-paper classic Dots and Boxes, rebuilt on cosy graph paper and pitched against a computer that actually knows how to play. Connect the dots, close the squares, and out-think the AI to claim the most boxes on the page.

ONE LINE AT A TIME
On your turn tap any gap between two neighbouring dots to ink a single edge. Draw the fourth side of a square and that box is yours - it fills with your blue and you earn another turn straightaway. String moves together and a single clever line can chain into a whole run of boxes.

A COMPUTER THAT THINKS
The AI grabs free boxes, plays it safe, and in the endgame switches to exact minimax - it will sacrifice the shortest chain and pull off the double-cross to steal control. Early boards go easy on you; later ones show no mercy.

22 RISING BOARDS
Start on a tiny 2x2 grid and work up to sprawling 6x6 pages, each one raising the board size and the AI's sharpness.

STARS, COINS AND A SHOP
Shut the computer out and beat par for all three stars, earn coins on every win, and spend them in the shop. Everything is earned in-game - no pay-to-win.

NOTEBOOK STYLE
Cream graph paper, faint blue rules, a red margin line and hand-drawn doodle buttons. A calm, tactile take on a timeless two-player duel.
