Same-device two players.
Try a deliberate move
After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Refer to the controls when needed.
Your goal
Win three mini-boards in a row on the large board. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.
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. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
A useful example
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. Notice the change in the playing area.
Watch out for this
A single local win does not finish the overall game. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
