Your goal
Win three mini-boards in a row on the large board. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Review the board or playing area as it changes.
The order of play
- 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 to use the controls
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. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
See how the rules apply
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. Read the matching step again.
One detail worth checking
A single local win does not finish the overall game. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
