    Can we play 5x6 or 7x9 or must we play 3x3, 4x4, 5x5?
    Community Answer
    Any size grid will do. It may influence strategy, but rules and scoring are unchanged.

    What happens if the opponent wins?

    If the opponent wins, they win. You can play again, or admit defeat. Most times, if you do another round, do a third, or any other odd numbered amount, this will assure only 1 winner.

    No, you still only get one go. No matter how many boxes you complete in one go, you only ever get one extra go.
