The opening prompt
Make Dots and Boxes on a 5x5 box grid (6x6 dots), you versus the computer. Completing a box scores and gives another turn. Computer: take any box that is available, otherwise avoid giving a third side, otherwise give away the shortest chain. Easy mode is random-safe. Show scores and colour boxes by owner. Large tap areas on mobile.
