## What is Boxed In?

The classic pen-and-paper game, now on your phone. Connect dots, close boxes,
and capture more squares than your rival.

HOW TO PLAY
• On your turn, tap a side between two dots to mark it with your colour.
• Complete a square and it is yours — and you play again!
• When the board is full, whoever holds the most squares wins.
• A tie is settled by sudden death: first box wins.

THREE WAYS TO PLAY
• Against the computer, at three difficulty levels.
• With a friend on the same phone, taking turns.
• Online, against another person in real time.

FEATURES
• Boards from 5×5 up to 9×9.
• Choose your colour and who goes first.
• The computer and same-phone modes work offline: play anywhere.
• Sound effects and music, each with its own switch.
• A paper or blackboard background, and a colour-blind friendly palette.
• Available in ten languages.
• No accounts, no sign-ups. You never need to give an email or a name.

PURCHASES
Free, with ads between games. "Remove ads" gets rid of them for good. The
"Aliens vs Astronauts" pack swaps the pieces and the board if you fancy a
different face.

Easy to learn, hard to master. Do you accept the duel?
