A focus for your next round

Understand the aim

Win three mini-boards in a row on the large board. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.

Step by step

  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.

How your actions work

Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. Use the control method described here for this activity. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.

An example to follow

A top-right cell sends the next player to the top-right mini-board. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Look for the relevant detail.

Watch out for this

A single local win does not finish the overall game. Check the rule before repeating the action. Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow.
