Game Rules

  • The game starts with X playing wherever they want in any of the 81 empty spots.
  • This move 'sends' their opponent to its relative location.For example, if X played in the top right square of their local board, then O needs to play next in the local board at the top right of the global board. O can then play in any one of the nine available spots in that local board, each move sending X to a different local board.(Local board is the smaller 3 X 3 board while the global board is the bigger 3 X 3 board)
  • If a move is played so that it is to win a local board by the rules of normal tic-tac-toe, then it wins that local board.
  • Once the outcome of a local board is decided (win or draw), no more moves may be played in that board. If a player is sent to such a board, then that player may play in any other board.
  • Game play ends when either a player wins the global board, or there are no legal moves remaining.
