When I was in high school I used to play Dots with friends during lectures, on the bus, during lunch... anytime there was a lot of sitting involved and I didn't want to pay attention, which was the bulk of high school. When I found this flash version of the game I was addicted to it once again..
Playing Dots is simple. You have several rows of dots on a piece of paper. You and a friend (or in this case the computer) take turns connecting two of the dots together. The object is to create more squares in the end of the game than your opponent. Since you can only connect two dots at a time the beginning of the game is all about finding a place to connect two dots where your opponent can not come behind you and complete a square. If you complete a square, it continues to be your turn until you make a move that does not complete a square. In the end the player with the most squares wins.
