Same-device two players.

Read before acting

Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use. Make the next step deliberately.

Your goal

Win three mini-boards in a row on the large board. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Take a moment to understand the current position.

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. Read the example below alongside these instructions.

A useful 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. Read the matching step again.

Watch out for this

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.
