If you have kids, you've no doubt been in a family restaurant where they hand out kid menus. One of the most common games on those paper menus is the Dots and Boxes game (although they often call it something else).
It's uper easy: you place lines--one at a time--on a grid. But you have to be strategic, because the first one to COMPLETE a box, wins it. In the case of the Kindle version of the game, if you "win" a box, you're the elephant. If Kindle wins, it's the lion. (That's 1-player. You can also play 2 players, which is cool. Haven't tried that yet, though.)
It's great for strategic thinking, because you can't just lay down lines. You have to think ahead to see what lines would complete what boxes...and how many at a time (which may be many!).
It's easy to navigate the game, too. Just use the squarae controller to select the box you want the line to frame, and then choose the directional button as to where you want to put it (up, down, right or left). Super simple!
If you're waiting at the Doctor's office, riding on a train or just want a quick diversion, this is a great game. And it's free! Can't be THAT price, right?
