A focus for your next round

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. Refer to the controls when needed.

The objective of a round

Win three mini-boards in a row on the large board. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.

The steps to play

  1. Play inside the required mini-board.
  2. Your selected square sends the opponent to the corresponding mini-board.
  3. A closed required board permits play in any open board.
  4. 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. Use the control method described here for this activity. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.

An example to follow

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. Keep the game’s format in mind.

A useful caution

A single local win does not finish the overall game. Check the rule before repeating the action. When a decision goes wrong, compare it with the common mistake described below. Start again only when you intend to leave the current round.
