What counts as success
Win three mini-boards in a row on the large board. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
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. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Use one clear input at a time.
One way to understand the rules
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.
An important reminder
A single local win does not finish the overall game. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
