Rules and controls
  • The board is made of 3 × 3 big fields. Each of them is a small TicTacToe grid with 3 × 3 squares.
  • Person 1 (X) starts by playing in any square. That square decides which big field the other person has to play in: if your mark is in the bottom left, the other person has to play in the big field at the bottom left.
  • Whoever gets three marks in a row in a big field wins that field. It gets a big symbol.
  • If you would send the other person to a field that is already won or full, they may choose freely: any field that is still open.
  • A full field without three in a row counts for nobody.
  • Whoever wins three big fields in a row (horizontal, vertical or diagonal) wins the game.
  • Controls: tap or click a square, check the preview and confirm with “Place”. With a mouse, a double-click on a square places the mark straight away. With the keyboard, choose squares with the arrow keys and place with Enter.
