Dots and Boxes

Dots and Boxes for ages 5+: Two people, one device: close boxes and play again. Play free right in the browser, no account or install needed.

Dots and Boxes brings the familiar pencil-and-paper game to two people sharing one device. Teams take turns joining neighbouring dots; the player who draws a square’s fourth edge claims the box and plays again. A single edge can complete two boxes. Once every box is claimed, the higher score wins. Choose 9 or 16 boxes. Sun and Moon symbols identify teams alongside their colours. Three short lessons teach closing a box, earning another turn and claiming two boxes with one edge, with progress saved here. Settings contains the guide, sound, undo and board selection. There is no clock.
