An idea for your next attempt

Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. Make the next step deliberately.

What the game asks you to do

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

A walkthrough of the rules

  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.

Choosing and moving on screen

Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.

An example before you play

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. Take a moment to compare.

A mistake to avoid

A single local win does not finish the overall game. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
