A focus for your next round

Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow. Notice the feedback after each input.

Your objective

Win three mini-boards in a row on the large board. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Review the board or playing area as it changes.

Follow these playing steps

  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.

Choosing and moving on screen

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. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.

A closer look at one example

A top-right cell sends the next player to the top-right mini-board. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Check the stated objective.

Where a round can go wrong

A single local win does not finish the overall game. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
