The game starts with an empty grid of dots. 2. Players take turns drawing a single horizontal or vertical line between two unjoined, adjacent dots. 3. If your line completes the fourth side of a 1x1 box, you claim that box, earn a point, and **must take another turn!** 4. Chain together multiple boxes in a row to trap your opponent and dominate the board. 5. The game ends when no more lines can be drawn. The player with the most boxes wins! **100% OFFLINE & PRIVATE** Dots & Boxes respects your privacy and your battery.
