About the Game

Blocked In brings the nostalgia of the classic pen and paper game "Dots and Boxes" into the digital era, offering engaging gameplay for players of all ages. The objective remains simple – players take turns creating lines between adjacent dots to create boxes, earning points with each completed square. However, beware of your rivals! They will stop at nothing to block your path and steal your potential squares.

Features:

Online and Local Multiplayer: Create lobbies and invite friends or connect with players from around the world in online multiplayer mode. Alternatively, gather your friends and family for an local multiplayer matches on a single device, and enjoy the classic board game experience.

Variable Board Sizes: Customize your gaming experience by selecting from a range of board sizes. Whether you want a quick and intense match on a small board or a strategic, epic showdown on a larger canvas, the choice is yours.

How to Play:

  • Connect adjacent dots by creating lines horizontally or vertically.
  • When you complete a square by drawing the fourth line, you score a point and get an extra turn.
  • Be careful not to leave a box with one open side; your opponent will seize the opportunity to claim it.
  • Use your wit to force your opponent into traps and claim multiple squares in one move.
  • The player with the most squares at the end of the game emerges victorious!
