Product Description
The classic game of Dots and Boxes comes to Kindle!
In Dots and Boxes, you are presented with a set of dots in a 5x5 grid. One by one, each player must fill in a horizontal or vertical line between two dots. The player that completes a box by filling in the fourth side captures that box. Completing a box allows a player to immediately make another move. When all 16 boxes are claimed, the player with the most boxes wins.
Play against Kindle at Easy, Medium or Hard difficulty levels. You can also play against another person in Pass 'n' Play mode and select whether a match requires 2, 3 or 4 wins to complete. Dots and Boxes comes with tips and instructions to help you if you get stuck, and also tracks your best scores, wins, and ties for each difficulty level.

We were usually good to be a little more quiet for ten minutes or so until one or the other would get frustrated with losing, or gloating a little too much with winning. This game is pretty basic, with a 4 x 4 grid no matter what level you choose (easy, medium, hard): it would be nice if you could get a 10 x 10 grid, as the 4 x 4 grid goes really fast. I didn't find too much of a difference in the computer's level of play between the medium and the hard version. The speed of the game, in terms of how fast does the computer move as well as you being able to make your next move, is pretty good as compared to some of the other games I've played on the Kindle. If you're looking for a quick "get away" game for your Kindle, you're probably going to like this and the...

I played my first few games on Medium against the computer and won them all fairly easily. Then I tried the Hard setting. Wow! The Kindle is really smart and very tricky. I played 3 or 4 games on Hard and haven't been able to beat the Kindle yet. I must say, it's a little frustrating. All games are in a grid 5 dots across and 5 dots down, making for 4 boxes x 4 boxes. It would be fun to be able to play on a larger grid, but navigation might get difficult if the grid was too much bigger (thus making the boxes, dots, and lines smaller to fit on the screen). Navigation and game play is fairly simple and easy to get used to with instructions at the bottom of the screen to let you know what to do to select a line to draw. You use your arrows on the 5-way controller to arrow over to the box you want to draw the line in. The boxes are clearly outlined so there is no question what box you are playing...

It uses the five-point cursor in order for the player to select a slot to place a line. First, you use the five-way controller to select the "box" you want to place a stick, then you select whether you want to place the "stick" on the north, south, east, or west part. Due to the comfortable interface, it makes the game fun and easy to play. My only concern is this game might get boring after a while if it is too easy, otherwise it's a very enjoyable game which makes good use of the buttons on the Kindle. |
