How to play Conet on Mac
| Platforms | Computer |
Game summary
"Conet" is an extremely simple one-on-one strategy game of dots and boxes.
Black is the first player and white is the second player.
Clicking the square dots will connect them with lines to any other adjacent square dots that have already been clicked, scoring you one point for each line formed.
Both players take in turns clicking the square dots until they have all been clicked, and the player with the most points wins!
The special "lonely points" rule also means that any square dots that have not been connected to any others are worth three points each.

Play Conet on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Conet on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.
Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.
Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).
Conet installation steps for Mac
Step 1
Go to Parallels.com and download the latest version of the software.
Step 2
Follow the installation process and make sure you allow Parallels in your Mac’s security preferences (it will prompt you to do so).
Step 3
When prompted, download and install Windows 10. The download is around 5.7GB. Make sure you give it all the permissions that it asks for.
Step 4
Once Windows is done installing, you are ready to go. All that’s left to do is install Conet like you would on any PC.
