## What is Dots?

Dots is the classic pen-and-paper dots game, now on your phone. Place dots on the grid, close a chain around your opponent’s dots and capture them. The rules take a minute to learn; the strategy keeps you coming back.

HOW TO PLAY
• Players take turns placing a dot on a line intersection.
• Neighbouring dots of the same colour link horizontally, vertically and diagonally into a chain.
• Close a chain around your opponent’s dots: the area is filled in and those dots count for you.
• Whoever captures more dots wins.

THREE WAYS TO PLAY
• Against the computer — three difficulty levels, from a relaxed game to a real challenge.
• With a friend nearby — pass the device back and forth and play on one screen.
• Online — create a game and send a friend the code, a link or a QR code.

AND MORE
• Three board sizes, from quick games to long battles.
• Pinch to zoom and drag to move around the board.
• An unfinished game is saved automatically.
• Play without internet against the computer and with a friend nearby.
• No sign-up, no ads.
• 12 languages.
