Drawing Squares

Released: 2025-03-06

Drawing Squares is the logic game that will blow your mind! It is a logic game inspired by the classic pen and paper game Dots and Boxes. Do you remember the game you used to play at school? (also known as Boxes, Squares, Paddocks, Pigs in a Pen, Square-it, Dots and Dashes, Dots, Smart Dots, Dot Boxing, or, simply, the Dot Game).

How to play

The point of the game is, to complete a square on the graph paper on your classmate behalf. To do this you must draw a line where your classmate WILL NOT take advantage of your move and complete a square. The game ends when no more lines can be placed. The winner is the one who scores the most points.

Gameplay Tips

Always anticipate your opponent’s moves—don’t complete a square unless you’re sure they won’t be able to finish it on their next turn. Focus on creating multiple potential squares so you can force your opponent into unfavorable positions. Avoid making moves that complete a single square unless you can gain a significant advantage or trigger a chain of your own completions.

Game Features

Drawing Squares is a digital logic game based on the classic Dots and Boxes concept, where players take turns drawing lines between dots arranged in a grid. The goal is to complete squares by carefully placing lines so that your opponent doesn’t get the chance to finish a square on their turn. Each completed square earns you a point, and the game continues until no more lines can be drawn. The player with the most squares at the end wins. The gameplay emphasizes strategic thinking and foresight, as each move can lead to chain reactions that affect the final score.
