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.

Win three mini-boards in a row on the large board. Use the instructions to see which actions move you towards it. Keep the controls in easy reach.
Step by step
- 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.
Keyboard and screen controls
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Look at the feedback after the action.
Put the rules into context
A top-right cell sends the next player to the top-right mini-board. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Take a moment to compare.
One detail worth checking
A single local win does not finish the overall game. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
