Players take turns drawing one unclaimed edge between adjacent pegs.
HOW TO PLAY
Dots & Boxes
Claim more boxes than the opposing side.
Take your turn
- Choose one open horizontal or vertical edge.
- Completing the fourth edge claims that box and grants another turn.
- Continue until every edge is filled.
Finish on top
Own the most boxes when the board is complete.
Play smarter
- Avoid offering the third side of a box early.
- Look for chains near the endgame.
