Dots and boxes
How to play:

1. Each turn, the players draw one horizontal or vertical line to connect two dots.

2. The goal is to create boxes. Each box is worth one point, and each player must write

their initial in the completed box to score it for themselves.

3. If you complete a box, you can take an extra turn.

4. Once the board is completed, count each player's points and determine the winner.

You can find an example below.

In the example above, player B has 3 points (and wins), and player R has one point.

Battleships
Add your five ships on your grid: one destroyer, one

submarine and one cruiser, one battleship, and one

aircraft carrier.

(2 squares long)

(3 squares long)

(3 squares long)

(4 squares long)

(5 squares long)

Use this grid to track your opponent's ships.

How to play: Each player secretly arranges their five ships. Ships can be placed horizontally or vertically, but not diagonally and they can't overlap. - Each player

uses the lower grid to track their "shots" at the opponent's ships. To take a shot, a player must select a square on this grid by naming its coordinates (a letter and a

number). - The other player will announce if that shot was a hit or a miss. - Each player must announce when a ship gets sunk. - The game continues until one

player has lost all their ships. The player who managed to sank all the opponent's ship is the winner.
