The Game of Boxes
by John Venn and Jack Pike

This version of the traditional game of Boxes has an unusual set of rules that makes the game very challenging. The object of the game is to fill the board with more boxes of your colour than your opponent. To draw lines on the playing grid, simply click with the mouse between two dots, and a line will be placed between them. If you draw the third side of a box, then your opponent will win that box and the box will be coloured with your opponent's colour. Any other box which has three sides filled will then also go to your opponent.

When the game is run, you will be asked for the size of the grid (try 10 to start with), and at the end of the game the result and statistics are shown. To exit the program, press Escape. Have fun!
