Pontos e Caixas

Draw lines, claim boxes, and outscore your rival on a clever grid.

Draw one line between adjacent dots each turn. Completing the fourth side of a box claims it and usually grants another turn. When no lines remain, the player with the most boxes wins.

Sobre Pontos e Caixas

Play Dots & Boxes free online — the pencil-and-paper classic rebuilt for the browser. Claim boxes, chain extra turns, and avoid opening long runs for your opponent. Ideal for short matches with a friend or sharp endgame practice vs the CPU.

Como jogar Pontos e Caixas

  1. Players take turns drawing a single line between two adjacent dots.
  2. If your line completes a box, you claim it (usually scored as a point) and often play again.
  3. Continue until every possible line on the grid has been drawn.
  4. The player who claimed the most boxes wins.

Dicas e estratégia

  • Avoid giving away the third side of a box unless you can take it yourself next.
  • Late-game long chains decide most matches — plan who opens them.
  • Sometimes sacrificing a box sets you up to take a longer chain afterward.
  • Count remaining boxes before you break a safe region.
