Connect the Dots


Hi Everyone,
Here is a page from my upcoming book: "Squigley Man Meets His Friends."
Doggie Winston is an active mutt who likes to find dots. When he gets them all lined up he lets you play with them in the Connect the Dots game. Have fun!

Rules for Connect-The-Dots
This game is usually played with two or three players (if more play, the field of dots should be enlarged). Start by choosing who goes first. The first player connects any two adjacet dots going in a verticle or horizontal direction only. The next player does the same and so on. Each player can only connect two unconnected dots each turn unless they completely enclose a box. When this is done the player puts hers or his initial in the box and is alowed to draw another
line. If this line encloses another box, the player once again puts their initial in the box and draws another line. The player continues so long as they enclose boxes. When they can no longer enclose a box their turn is over and the next player tries to enclose boxes for their initials. When all boxes are enclosed the players tally their initials and the player with the highest tally wins.
