Dots & Boxes: Rulebreakers

Dots & Boxes Rulebreakers takes the classic pencil-and-paper strategy game and fills it with unusual opponents, powerful pencils, tactical tools, stickers, and boards that refuse to follow the rules. DRAW LINES. CLAIM BOXES. BREAK THE RULES. Outthink a colorful cast of challengers, each with a different strategy, special ability, and piece of equipment. Build chains, control valuable boxes, and adapt when the rules suddenly change. MASTER NEW EQUIPMENT Choose pencils that alter the way you play. Bring tools that erase, divide, reserve, or reshape parts of the board. Equip sticker packs that add valuable bonuses, dangerous traps, and surprising effects to every match. PLAY THROUGH SCHOOL YEAR Progress through six chapters of increasingly challenging opponents. Complete optional star goals, defeat chapter bosses, and unlock new pencils, tools, and stickers along the way. TAKE ON EXAM WEEK Choose a subject and face four opponents in an endurance run. Your health carries between matches, equipment becomes exhausted after use, and every decision matters.
