Strategy board games against a bot
Pen-and-paper and board game classics, rebuilt so that draws are rare or impossible. Play against a bot in your browser, or send a link and play a friend on the same board.
closure is dots and boxes: draw lines, close a box to claim it and move again, on boards with an odd number of boxes so nobody draws. overload is tic tac toe where every square can be taken back by a higher number. bridge is a hex connection game where the chain that links your two edges also blocks your opponent.
Each bot plays a real strategy rather than random moves, and each game has a guide that explains how to beat it, from the long chain rule in dots and boxes to why the centre matters in hex.
