Daily Idea #166: Dots and Boxes

For today’s daily idea I am going back to my childhood. Dots and Boxes was a game that would make an appearance at any and all opportunities. As long as we had a pen and a piece of paper, we were ready to play.

Game Set Up

Set up rows and rows of dots (I usually start with a 10X10 square)

How to Play

Take turns drawing vertical and horizontal lines connecting 2 dots at a time.

Create your Boxes

The whole point of the game is to amass the most boxes. When you are able to “close” a box with a final line, mark that box with your initial. Whomever closes the most boxes wins.
