What counts as success
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.
Work through the instructions
- 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 interact with the game
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. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.
Try this example
A top-right cell sends the next player to the top-right mini-board. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Look for the relevant detail.
Watch out for this
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.
