About this game
The biggest board in the set: 12 by 12 dots and boxes with 144 boxes, for older kids and grown-ups who want a real strategy game on a single sheet of paper. Play with two or three players, or two teams. Rules and score lines included; the dots still sit half an inch apart, so lines are easy to draw. It is a strategy game for ages 9 and up, good for older kids, teens and grown-ups playing together.
Tips for using it
- Give each player a different colored pencil: it is easy to see who drew which line or letter, and nobody argues.
- Keep a folder with a few sheets of each game in the car or the diaper bag for waiting rooms and restaurants.
- Slide a sheet into a clear page protector and use a dry-erase marker to play the same board again and again.
- Let the younger child go first; in dots and boxes and tic tac toe the first move is a small advantage.
Printing tips
Download the PDF and print at 100% (or “fit to page” on A4). It is a vector file, so the lines stay sharp on any printer. This page is free for personal, family and classroom use.
