- 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.
Keyboard and screen 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. A new-round button replaces the current round.
Put the rules into context
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. Choose a deliberate next step.
Keep this in mind
A single local win does not finish the overall game. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
