Take a closer look while playing

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. Refer to the controls when needed.

The purpose of your moves

Win three mini-boards in a row on the large board. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Try to explain the aim in your own words.

How a round unfolds

  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.

Making selections and moves

Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.

An example before you play

A top-right cell sends the next player to the top-right mini-board. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Keep the game’s format in mind.

Check this before moving on

A single local win does not finish the overall game. Check the rule before repeating the action. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
