Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use. Notice the feedback after each input.
Understand the aim
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.
Making your moves
- 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.
How your actions work
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. Use the control method described here for this activity. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.
Put the rules into context
A top-right cell sends the next player to the top-right mini-board. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Read the matching step again.
A mistake to avoid
A single local win does not finish the overall game. Check the rule before repeating the action. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
