About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready for a quick and clever challenge with BOX, the 13th title in the "Pack O Game" series! This abstract strategy and tile-laying game invites you to create perfect squares using four dots of your secret color. The trick is simple: the bigger the square you manage to build, the more points you take home! But don't be fooled by the simplicity; the strategic depth is surprising.
BOX shines with its versatility. Want a quick duel? Play one-on-one. Prefer a more social experience? Form teams and see who can achieve the highest score together! The game is purely visual and tactical, requiring you to anticipate your opponent's moves and plan your plays to maximize your squares while also trying to disrupt their plans. It's one of those games where you think 'just one more round' because each game is a new opportunity to refine your strategy and try to form the most epic square.
With super easy-to-learn rules and games lasting about 15 minutes, BOX is perfect for taking anywhere, whether on a trip, during a work break, or to liven up an afternoon with friends. It tests your ability to recognize patterns and plan ahead, all in a tiny package. If you enjoy games that are easy to pick up but hard to master, and offer replayability in a portable format, BOX is a sure addition to your collection.
