Dots and boxes are a pretty good game

I think if you want to make dots and boxes better you should take away all of the adds and make level that get harder and harder for people to get into .That’d make dots and boxes better.

It is fun to play against a computer or against a friend but, there are adds after every game.

BECAUSE

I’ve tried this game and it like you had to fill in the squares and it tells you which color and it shows a different color to show where your opponent went or where you went last and then See restart games if you if you already started one and you can do like other things and it’s so much
