How to Play

The Goal

Claim more boxes than the other player. The player with the most boxes when the board is full wins.

Making a Move

Click or tap an empty line between two dots. That line becomes yours.

Claiming a Box

A box is completed when all four of its sides have been claimed. The player who places the final side gets the box.

Extra Turns

When you complete a box, you get another turn. Keep playing until you make a move that does not complete a box.

Game Modes

2 Player: Two people take turns on the same device.

Vs Bot: You play as Player 1 and the computer plays as Player 2.

Bot Difficulties

Easy: Mostly chooses random moves.

Normal: Looks for boxes it can claim and tries to avoid giving easy boxes away.

Hard: Searches ahead and evaluates possible future moves.
