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. Use the example to check your reasoning.
Your goal
Win three mini-boards in a row on the large board. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Check the rules when you are unsure.
Step by step
- Play inside the required mini-board.
- Your selected square sends the opponent to the corresponding mini-board.
- A closed required board permits play in any open board.
- Win local boards, then a large-board line.
Controls
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.
A useful example
A top-right cell sends the next player to the top-right mini-board. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Take a moment to compare.
Watch out for this
A single local win does not finish the overall game. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
