About Dots and Boxes Arena
Dots and Boxes is the classic pen-and-paper game from the margins of your notebook, rebuilt for your phone. Take turns connecting two neighboring dots. Draw the fourth side of a box to claim it and take another turn. When the board is full, the player with the most boxes wins. Easy to learn, hard to master: one careless line can hand your opponent a whole chain of boxes. DAILY BOARD • A new board every day — everyone plays the same one • Daily and weekly leaderboards in Game Center • 19 achievements to unlock along the way PLAY VS COMPUTER • Three levels: Easy is ideal for learning, Medium never gifts a box, and Hard counts chains and solves the endgame exactly • Matches for 2, 3 or 4 players • Four board sizes, from a quick 3×3 to a long 9×9 • Two players on one device: pass the phone and play like on paper PLAY ONLINE • Create a room for 2–4 players and share the room code with friends • The host picks the board inside the room and starts when everyone is in • Random Match quickly finds you an opponent • Lost your connection?
