The challenge in front of you

Win three mini-boards in a row on the large board. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. The example below illustrates a decision.

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. Check any mode label before starting.

See the idea in action

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. Notice the change in the playing area.

A mistake to avoid

A single local win does not finish the overall game. Compare the situation with the worked example. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
