Dots & Boxes

Dots & Boxes brings the timeless pencil-and-paper game to a clear, easy-to-read board. Take turns joining neighboring dots. Complete a box to score a point and keep the turn — including the satisfying chance to claim two boxes with one carefully placed line. Play against a computer opponent at Gentle, Balanced, or Hard difficulty, or share the screen in Two Players mode. Choose a clearly labeled 3×3, 4×4, or 5×5 box board. Gentle makes plausible imperfect choices, Balanced looks for captures and avoids easy gifts, and Hard adds deeper chain and endgame reasoning while keeping play responsive. Features: • Three distinct computer difficulty levels • Local two-player play on one device • Three board sizes: 3×3, 4×4, and 5×5 boxes • Optional gentle haptics on supported devices • An opt-in 15-track instrumental playlist by Scott Buckley • Clear keyboard focus, reduced-motion support, and non-colour player symbols • No ads, analytics, accounts, purchases, or online multiplayer • Fully playable offline Music is off until you choose to play it, and your preferences stay on your device.
