Review a difficult moment
When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round. Make the next step deliberately.
Your goal
Win three mini-boards in a row on the large board. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Keep the controls in easy reach.
Step by step
- 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.
Controls
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.
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. Take a moment to compare.
Watch out for this
A single local win does not finish the overall game. Check the rule before repeating the action. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
