Remember those happy childhood days when a dot-to-dot puzzle was the height of sophistication? Not least because, eventually, you figured out you could go off-piste, and just join dots to make willy shapes.

Or was that just us? Oh.

Anyway, Lemonquest has announced a new game that's not quite that, but does involve joining dots to get big joy. It's called Dots & Boxes.

The game involves joining adjacent dots, horizontally or vertically, to make four sides of a box. Once it's surrounded, the box fills up with your colour, and damages your opponent.

It sounds a bit like Puzzle Quest to us, which is a good thing. Anyway, the game is out soon, so we'll be able to find out.
