Connect the dots and fill the board. Dot by dot, pair by pair until nothing empty remains. It looks like a calm few minutes. That’s true for a couple of rounds — but if you go further, the game gets harder and more interesting. The rules stay the same – the mood changes. One game lets you think, the next hurries you, hides what you need, or suddenly rearranges the board after each move. By the way, unique boards are created as you play — bet you can't finish them all. Spoiler: you lose — they're infinite. Points add up, a daily streak bring you back, and levels with stats make the progress hard to ignore. Easy to start, hard to put down, and just bold enough to call a few minutes of gameplay a workout for the mind.
