Your goal

Win three mini-boards in a row on the large board. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Return to the instructions when a step is unclear.

Step by step

  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.

Controls

Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. 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. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Keep the game’s format in mind.

Watch out for this

A single local win does not finish the overall game. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
