How to play

P1 P2 P1 P1
  1. Players take turns drawing one line between two adjacent dots.
  2. Completing the 4th side of a box claims that box for you.
  3. Claiming a box grants you another turn — chain them to score fast.
  4. A single line can close two boxes at once (the seam between two near-complete boxes).
  5. The game ends when every line is drawn. Most boxes wins; ties are fine.

Want to practice the rules first? Create a room and add a bot opponent — it plays a decent casual game.
