How a round unfolds
- 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. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Check any mode label before starting.
One way to understand the rules
A top-right cell sends the next player to the top-right mini-board. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Choose a deliberate next step.
Pay attention to this rule
A single local win does not finish the overall game. Check the rule before repeating the action. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
