Bring this focus to a round
Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow. Keep the objective visible.
What you are aiming for
Win three mini-boards in a row on the large board. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
The playing sequence
- 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.
Input guidance
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.
A useful example
A top-right cell sends the next player to the top-right mini-board. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Keep the controls nearby.
One detail worth checking
A single local win does not finish the overall game. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
