Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow. Make the next step deliberately.
The objective of a round
Win three mini-boards in a row on the large board. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Try to explain the aim in your own words.
The playing sequence
- 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.
Your inputs
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. Read a button’s label before selecting it. A new-round button replaces the current round.
See the idea in action
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.
Check this before moving on
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.
