Number of Players
2
Equipment
Paper and pencil.
Setup
A series of small dots are drawn on the paper in a grid of rows (10x10 or larger).
Play
Either player may go first, and player’s alternate turns. On a players turn, that player draws a single line connecting two adjacent dots, and then passes the turn. The line may be vertical or horizontal (never diagonal). Whenever a player draws the fourth line to complete a square box (connecting four dots), that player initials the box and draws another line somewhere else. That player may continue to draw lines until they cannot complete a box.
Object
To possess the most number of boxes containing your initials. When all of the dots have been connected, and every box filled, the player with the highest number of initialed boxes wins.
