Claim boxes
Closing the fourth side of a box hands it to whoever drew that edge.
Read chains
Completing a box grants another turn, so chains let you sweep several at once.
Win the majority
When every edge is drawn, the side with more boxes wins.
Edge-claiming duel
Know when to give up the third side.
Dots Boxes starts from a bare grid of dots in this classic head-to-head puzzle. The AI plays a deterministic policy, so the focus is reading safe edges that avoid handing over a third side and the attacking chains that sweep boxes back. There are no timers or lives.
