Description
A version of the pencil-and-paper game Boxes, modified to allow (1) play by 2 to 4 players, and (2) a spinner that can dictate the number of segments the player must play or even their orientation (horizontal or vertical). Once the fourth segment of a square is played, the player claims that square by placing a dot of his or her color in its center and then plays again; the winner is the player who has claimed the most squares by the end of the game.
