Complete more boxes than your opponent in this retro strategy game of quick thinking and clever moves.
If you grew up playing pen-and-paper box games at school, you’ll instantly recognise the charm of Boxes (1976). This portable version by Milton Bradley takes that timeless idea and brings it to life on a sturdy board, making it easier, tidier, and ready to play anywhere. It’s a game of simple rules but endless strategies, where every line you place could either help you claim a box or hand your opponent the chance to swoop in and steal it. Boxes is all about outsmarting your rival, thinking one step ahead, and enjoying the suspense as the board slowly fills up with completed boxes.
How to Play Boxes (1976) is a two-player game where the aim is simple: complete more boxes than your opponent. Players take turns placing a line between two pegs on the board, either horizontally or vertically. Whenever a player completes the fourth side of a box, they claim it with their marker and earn another turn. The game continues until the board is filled, and the player with the most completed boxes wins. With every move, you’ll need to think carefully—sometimes you can’t avoid giving your opponent the chance to score!
