A useful comparison

Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Refer to the controls when needed.

Your goal

Win three mini-boards in a row on the large board. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Start with a deliberate move.

Step by step

  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.

Controls

Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.

A useful example

A top-right cell sends the next player to the top-right mini-board. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Verify the rule before continuing.

Watch out for this

A single local win does not finish the overall game. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round.
