Download before long car rides, etc. You may print these templates on a sheet of paper if you can't bring a laptop with you. * Press SPACE to change colors. * Press C to clear the board. * Press Z to change the game. This game has 5 templates: Dots and Boxes, Tic-tac-toe, Hangman, Sprouts, and Pipelayer. There is also a blank template for drawing or making up/playing other games. If you don't know, here are rules: Pipelayer: * The players take turns moving by connecting two dots. * A player can only connect dots that are adjacent horizontally or vertically and also only dots of his own color. * No move may draw across another move. * To win a player must make a continuous connection from one side of the board to the other in the long direction for his color of dots. Sprouts: *The players take turns moving. *A move has two parts: drawing a line and making a new dot. *The line must go from a dot to a dot so that it does not cross another line and so that once the line is draw, no dot has more then three lines coming out of it.. You might want to circle used-up dots. The new dot goes on the line the player just drew (this means it starts with two lines coming out of it). * The winner is the last player to move. * A line can go from a dot to itself as long as you don't break the "three lines" rule. Dots and Boxes/Capture: Dots and Boxes/Capture is a two player game played on a grid of dots like the first template. The players take turns connecting dots that are horizontally or vertically adjacent. If a player can complete a square by connecting two dots then they capture that square and color it in with their color. You must draw another line after making a capture. A player may, thus, make a large number of captures in a single turn. After the last capture he must still connect two dots.
