The Rules The game takes place on a grid of dots (of arbitrary size -- in this online version, the grid is eight dots by eight dots). Players take turns connecting one dot to an adjacent dot (diagonals are not allowed) by drawing a line between them. If a player's line completes a box, he scores a point and moves again. When all boxes on the grid have been scored, the game is over, and the player with the highest score wins. Source: The Game Website.
