Dots: a Simple Game That May be Harder Than it Looks

Dots
Athey Educational, U.K.

"Connect the dots and try to make more boxes than the computer."

I lost my first game, 49-0.

"Dots" is, as far as I can tell, the same as a pencil-and-paper game my wife taught our kids. I asked her, just now, what it was called. She shrugged her shoulders and told me it was "a dot-to-dot game," but she didn't have a name for it.

Despite my first encounter's outcome, I think this Dots game is fun.
