Bring this focus to a round
Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules. Make the next step deliberately.
What the game asks you to do
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.
A walkthrough of the rules
- 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.
Getting comfortable with the controls
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. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.
Follow the 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. Look for the relevant detail.
A useful caution
A single local win does not finish the overall game. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
