A focus for your next round

Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use. Make the next step deliberately.

What the game asks you to do

Win three mini-boards in a row on the large board. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Review the board or playing area as it changes.

Work through the instructions

  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.

The controls to know

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. Check any mode label before starting.

Learn from a sample situation

A top-right cell sends the next player to the top-right mini-board. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Notice the change in the playing area.

A mistake to avoid

A single local win does not finish the overall game. Compare the situation with the worked example. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
