Over the last year or two, a number of Tcl'ers have become interested in the game of ''Dots and Boxes'' - a pencil-and-paper strategy game that's simple enough for a six-year-old to learn and deep enough to challenge an adult.  No doubt, one catalyst was the appearance of Elwyn Berlekamp's book, ''The Dots and Boxes Game: sophisticated child's play'' [http://www.akpeters.com/book.asp?bID=111], and the review of the book that appeared in Ian Stewart's column in the January, 2001 issue of ''Scientific American.''
