Bring this focus to a round
Choose one rule to keep in mind for this round. Apply it consistently rather than guessing what another version might allow. Make the next step deliberately.
What you need to achieve
Win three mini-boards in a row on the large board. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Keep the controls in easy reach.
The order of play
- 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.
Your inputs
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Avoid pressing the same control repeatedly while a move is being processed.
A useful example
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. Read the matching step again.
Check this before moving on
A single local win does not finish the overall game. Check the rule before repeating the action. Read one step at a time and try it on the playing area. Match the instruction to the control you use.
