About the game
Dots (Czech: Židi, Polish: Kropki, Russian: Точки) is an abstract strategy game, played by two or more people on a sheet of squared paper. The goal is to "capture" enemy dots by surrounding them with a continuous line of one's own dots. Once an area containing enemy dots is surrounded, that area ceases to be playable.
The game is somewhat similar to Go and also has some similarities to the simpler and smaller dots and boxes game.Information from Marquoir’s game database, which cross-checks several open sources. Spotted a mistake? Write to us from the Contact page.
