The Ultimate Tic-Tac-Toe playbook

Take a moment with Ultimate Tic-Tac-Toe before moving to another game. Win three mini-boards in a row on the large board. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions. Read the objective before making your first input. Check the relevant rule before repeating a move.

Same-device two players.

A small practice goal

Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use. Notice the feedback after each input.

The purpose of your moves

Win three mini-boards in a row on the large board. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Keep the controls in easy reach.

The order of play

  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.

The controls to know

Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Use one clear input at a time.

Put the rules into context

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. Check the stated objective.

Notice this detail

A single local win does not finish the overall game. A different version of the game may use a different rule. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
