It's the dot-to-dot version I used to play as a kid on paper during class when I supposed to be listening to social studies or math! Ha!! Love how you can play against the computer--great for the brain!! I will be telling other moms to get this!!!! ### 1/5 — DONT GET IT!!!!!!!!! *2014-06-19* It's terrible don't get it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ### 4/5 — Strategic! *2014-03-31* This game seems simple and the outcome appears to be up to chance... At first! The more you play the more strategies you will develop to make sure you come out with the most boxes. It's actually quite fun. I enjoy playing it with my friends. It would have 5 stars except that the Game Center interactions are odd. You can only challenge a player when they have the app open, and click the invite as you send it. If they miss it, it somehow disappears and you have to start the process over. This can be annoying, but the fun of the game makes up for it. ### 5/5 — Classic *2014-03-26* A great classic game ## Frequently asked questions about .Box ### How do you play .Box?
