How to play

  1. Take turns drawing one line between two neighbouring dots.
  2. Draw the fourth side of a box and it's yours: it takes your colour and you draw again.
  3. Careful: drawing the third side of a box hands it to the next player.
  4. Run out of time and a random line is drawn for you.
  5. When every box is closed, the player (or team) with the most boxes wins.
