Play dots and boxes with your friends.
Dots and boxes is one of the pick-up-and-play board games on Pilimo, the multiplayer social gaming platform. Draw one line at a time, close a box to claim it and go again, and take the most squares on the grid — 2 to 4 players, live, with friends or players nearby.

One line at a time.
Take turns drawing a single edge between two dots. Close the fourth side of a box and it’s yours — plus another go. Most boxes when the grid is full wins.
Simple rules, ruthless endgame.
On a 7×7 grid of boxes, every turn you claim one edge. Complete a box and you score it and go again — so a single clever line can chain into a whole run of boxes. Play it as a two-player duel, a three-player trio, or a four-player quad; when all 49 boxes are claimed the highest count wins. With three or four players a tie for the lead is a shared win — with two, someone always comes out ahead.
- 2, 3 or 4 players — duel, trio or quad
- Close a box to score it and take another turn
- One edge can finish two boxes at once
- Every legal edge is offered — just pick one
Better with people you know.
