Win the main 3x3 board by winning three mini-games in a row, column,
or diagonal.
🧩 Board Structure
The game has a main 3x3 grid (main board).
Each cell in the main board is a 3x3 Tic-Tac-Toe grid (a
mini-board).
🕹️ How to Play
Initial Move: Player X starts and can play in any
cell of any mini-board.
Move Restriction:
After the first move, the mini-board for the next player is
determined by the
position of the mini-board just played in.
If the last move was in mini-board at
(row=r, col=c), the next player must play in a
mini-board in row r OR column c.
Example: Play in top-center (t2) means next play is in
t1, t2, t3, m2, or b2.
Center Exception: Playing in the center mini-board (m2)
allows the next player to play in any available mini-board.
Mini-Board Win: Get three of your symbols (X or O)
in a line within a mini-board. A line will be drawn. This win is
permanent for that mini-board.
Playable Won Boards: If a won mini-board isn't
full, players can still be sent there and play in its empty cells.
Fallback Rule: If all normally targeted mini-boards
are full, play follows this priority for available (not full)
mini-boards: Top Row > Middle Row > Bottom Row.
Game Victory: Win 3 mini-boards in a line
(horizontal, vertical, or diagonal) on the main board.
Draw: If all mini-boards are filled and no one has
won the main board, it's a draw.
