Dots + Boxes 4+

It’s good to see this game make it to the iPhone, but there are times where I have a hard time getting certain areas of the screen to respond. The options are wonderful.

I'll never understand why companies always feel like they have to continually tinker with their perfectly fine products. Here's a great example. This was a wonderful game that had a nice 3D look to it. My grandkids and I played it often. But for some unknown reason Optime decided to 'improve' it. The new version is a faded 2D version of it's former self, and, oh yeah, did I mention the ads? Now when you turn it on you have to wait twice as long while a video advertisement downloads and once you figure out which side of the screen to touch to get it to go away due to a lack of an X, you then have to endure steaming ads all through your game at the bottom of the screen. And the fact that they are so sneaky as to not even tell you that they have decided to go with an ad supported model now in their update announcement makes me think very poorly of Optime. It's their app and they can certainly do with it what they want, but I'll probably be looking for a replacement.

This game forces one player, challenging another player if they want to play, and it just gets the job done right. You’re just a color, trying to get four lines closed up into the formal shape; a square. You keep getting turns if you keep making boxes until you don’t on your next move.

The game mostly is about puzzle, your smarts, and strategy. Let your mind go wild and put your wits up! This one is for players of all ages!

You can change settings, like a nickname, your color, and a few other things, like a hard CPU, or a easy starter robot.

The objective of Dots and Boxes is to box up the most, and the game ends after the whole board is filled with boxes.

It is a very good game, although you might rage when you lose. Or laugh when you win.
The game always has a box, JUST for you to box up!
