I loved to play this game when I was young. For a while it was an obsession with my friends and me. Best part: all you need is a piece of paper and a pencil. We knew it as the French Polytechnic Game.

In reply to E.S. Ivy. Ha ha! Better than texting under the desks, though.

Love this game! It's a great boredom buster in the car and long talks that kids have to sit through. Not that I would encourage them to play it in class.... 🙂

In reply to Jennifer. I didn't even think of that connection, but you are so right!

My three year old would LOVE this! She's constantly making structures out of toothpicks, and loves Connect Four - seems like the perfect hybrid!

We love this game too! it is a great idea for an indoor activity...we have not played it in a while. Since we are stuck indoors for the weather today, I will definitely play dots and boxes with the kids today.
