How to play Ultimate Tic-Tac-Toe
Take a moment with Ultimate Tic-Tac-Toe before moving to another game. Win three mini-boards in a row on the large board. Look at what changes after your first action. Compare the starting position with the example in the Guide. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.
Same-device two players.
Notice the feedback
Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention. Use the example to check your reasoning.
Your goal
Win three mini-boards in a row on the large board. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Check the rules when you are unsure.
Step by step
- 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.
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. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.
A useful example
A top-right cell sends the next player to the top-right mini-board. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Keep the controls nearby.
Watch out for this
A single local win does not finish the overall game. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. 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.
