About Dot and Box
Connect the dots to form lines and claim squares in a strategic battle of wits! With each move, shape the board and seize victory by creating more boxes than your opponent. Fun and challenging, it's a test of foresight and cunning where every decision counts.
It's a straightforward puzzle game that gets out of your way and lets you play. It's tuned to load fast and play smoothly whether you've got five minutes or an hour.
If you want to do well, keep this in mind: Slow down on the first level — the early stages teach mechanics you will need at the end. Work from the corners and edges inward — they usually have the fewest possible solutions.
Add Dot and Box to your break rotation. It's free on Glaze Games, loads fast, and saves nothing you didn't ask it to.
