Dots and Boxes
Dots and Boxes is a two person game played on a grid of dots. Each player, in turn, will draw a horizontal or vertical line between 2 unconnected adjacent dots. If any player draws the fourth side of a 1 x 1 box, he writes his initial or other marker in that box and takes another turn. When all possible lines have been drawn, the player who completed the most 1 x 1 boxes wins.
A goes first by drawing a line that connects two adjacent dots.
B goes second by drawing a line that connects two different adjacent dots.
A and B continue to take turns, each one drawing a line between two unconnected adjacent dots.
A finally draws the fourth side of a box and writes his initial in the box. He completes his turn by drawing one more line.
B draws the fourth side of a box and places his initial in the box. He then draws one more line that completes a second box and writes his initial in that box. He completes his turn by drawing another line.
