This session is hosted by Dr. Tiago Hirth, MoMath's 2026–2027 Visiting Professor for Public Outreach, and is devoted to The Dots and Boxes Game: Sophisticated Child's Play by Elwyn Berlekamp. The book shows that the familiar game of connecting dots to form boxes hides a surprising complexity, teaching advanced strategies to win at any level, with chapters of strategy mixed with sample problems and solutions. Those strategies also apply to other games such as Strings-and-Coins and Nimstring.", "url": "https://noky.io/en/new-york/events/tween-primes-a-discussion-of-the-dots-and-boxes-game-by-elwy-54105/", "official_url": "https://momath.org/tween-primes/", "image": "https://noky.io/images/ff19babf200f73c61e364ad7430962845c236398644daaa873c8640fb08d5a50-2000.webp", "dates": [{"start": "2026-11-08T16:30:00-05:00", "end": null, "place": "National Museum of Mathematics", "address": "5th Avenue 225, 10010 New York", "tickets": ""}], "similar": [{"title": "STEAM Lab: Design Your Own Board Game", "start": "2026-11-05T16:00:00-05:00", "end": "2026-11-05T17:00:00-05:00", "place": "Howard Beach", "address": "", "price": "", "price_from": null, "price_to": null, "tickets_url": "https://www.queenslibrary.org/event/004421-0926", "category": "workshops-courses", "tags": ["diy/design", "games/board-games"], "description": "STEAM Lab: Design Your Own Board Game is a hands-on workshop for teens at the Howard Beach branch of the Queens Public Library.
