Same-device two players.
Try a more deliberate round
Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Make the next step deliberately.
Aim for this result
Win three mini-boards in a row on the large board. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Keep the controls in easy reach.
Start here and follow along
- 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.
How to use the controls
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Use one clear input at a time.
See how the rules apply
A top-right cell sends the next player to the top-right mini-board. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Keep the game’s format in mind.
An important reminder
A single local win does not finish the overall game. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
