Build familiarity through play

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. Make the next step deliberately.

A walkthrough of the rules

  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.

Keyboard and screen controls

Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.

See how the rules apply

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.

A common point of confusion

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.
