Yes, I agree, "Board" category it should be.  I see also that MathWorld
classifies Squares (Dots and Boxes) as a board game under its
Recreational Mathematics category.  See:

http://mathworld.wolfram.com/DotsandBoxes.html

BTW, Matt, the latter article could be the basis of a brief strategy section
in the KSquares Handbook, with links to Wikipedia articles and the links
_they_ mention for anyone who wishes to follow up on the maths.  I note
also that Wikipedia mentions *variants*  of the game, Matt ... ;-)

All the best, Ian W.
