๐ฎ Detailed Rules
Players take turns drawing one line connecting two dots. Only vertical or horizontal lines can be drawn.
When a square box is completely enclosed by four lines, it becomes that player's point. The player who completes a box gets to draw another line.
The game ends when all possible lines have been drawn. The player with more boxes at that point wins.
You can select board size (3ร3, 4ร4, 5ร5) and CPU thinking level (Easy, Normal, Hard). Larger boards result in longer games requiring more complex strategies.
- Be careful not to give your opponent opportunities to complete boxes
- Even in disadvantageous situations, choose moves that minimize losses
- Identify timing for chain reactions to capture many boxes
- Predict your opponent's next move and take the initiative
