The objective of a round

Win three mini-boards in a row on the large board. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.

Start here and follow along

  1. Play inside the required mini-board.
  2. Your selected square sends the opponent to the corresponding mini-board.
  3. A closed required board permits play in any open board.
  4. Win local boards, then a large-board line.

Input guidance

Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.

A useful example

A top-right cell sends the next player to the top-right mini-board. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Look for the relevant detail.

Keep this in mind

A single local win does not finish the overall game. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules.
