About this app

Take turns drawing a line between two dots; close the fourth side of a box and it is yours — and you go again. The computer opponent is three levels of actual foresight rather than three fudge factors: Hard counts chains, declines the last two boxes to keep control, and solves the endgame exactly. Or hand the phone across the table for pass-and-play, on boards from a quick 3×3 to a 6×6 that takes real planning.

Features
  • Three AI levels of genuine foresight
  • Hard mode counts chains and double-crosses
  • Exact endgame solving on small boards
  • Pass and play — two players, one device
  • Boards from 3×3 to 6×6
