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. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.

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. Look for the relevant detail.

Watch out for this

A single local win does not finish the overall game. Compare the situation with the worked example. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
