How to play Dots and Boxes

  • Take turns drawing a single line between two adjacent dots.
  • Complete the fourth side of a box to claim it — and take another turn straight away.
  • Plan ahead: drawing the third side of a box hands your opponent a free square.
  • When every box is claimed, whoever owns the most squares wins (an even split is a draw).
