About

Ink Dots

Features
Read full description

A nostalgic pencil-and-paper classic - the old margin game students once waged through long lectures, now on your phone and iPad. It is a game of territory capture: two colours of ink on one grid. Surround your rival's dots with an unbroken chain — and they are yours. A minute to learn, a lifetime to master: like a pocket game of Go, real strategy hides behind the simple grid. Ink Dots trains logic and strategic thinking, sharpens attention, and reading moves ahead, and teaches patience — a gentle workout for the mind, for children and grown-ups alike.
