Most people use squares to play this game - drawing a line between two
dots one at a time, with the person completing a square putting their
initials in the square.

That's dots and boxes. It's a deep game, there has even been published
a strategy book about it... but I don't think it's much fun, and I
generally like abstracts. It's just something about the way it ends in
one big sequence of forced moves that doesn't appeal to me.

If you're playing it out to the end then you're wasting
your time; no-one else does. Do all your Amazons games
go to 92 moves?
