๐ŸŽฎ Detailed Rules
1. Game Flow

Players take turns drawing one line connecting two dots. Only vertical or horizontal lines can be drawn.

2. Box Completion

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.

3. Game End

The game ends when all possible lines have been drawn. The player with more boxes at that point wins.

4. Difficulty Settings

You can select board size (3ร—3, 4ร—4, 5ร—5) and CPU thinking level (Easy, Normal, Hard). Larger boards result in longer games requiring more complex strategies.

  • Identify timing for chain reactions to capture many boxes
  • Predict your opponent's next move and take the initiative
