Something to practise
Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Keep the objective visible.
Understand the aim
Win three mini-boards in a row on the large board. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Review the board or playing area as it changes.
Work through the instructions
- 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.
Making selections and moves
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. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.
A closer look at one 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. Look for the relevant detail.
Avoid this misunderstanding
A single local win does not finish the overall game. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
