- Draw the fourth side of a box and it’s yours, plus you get another turn.

Strategy tips
- Avoid drawing the third side of a box. It hands your opponent a free box.
- Late in the game, boxes form chains. Try to make your opponent open the first long chain.
- Sometimes giving away two small boxes wins you a big chain later.
