ABSTRACT
This chapter presents a game, Dots and Squares, to challenge our spatial visualization ability. The game usually involves two players and is normally played on a square array of points or dots. Each player, in turn, connects an adjacent, non-diagonal pair of dots with a line until a square is formed. The player who completes the square claims it. The chapter presents strategies that make it desirable for a player not to accept every opportunity to complete a square and, thereby, make greater gains later on. When all possible squares have been formed, the player with the most squares wins the game.
