Practice with a purpose
Keep the stated aim separate from side details such as animation or appearance. Progress is measured by the game’s own completion or scoring rules. Keep the objective visible.
Your objective
Win three mini-boards in a row on the large board. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Try to explain the aim in your own words.
From the start of a round
- 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.
The controls to know
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
A useful example
A top-right cell sends the next player to the top-right mini-board. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Keep the controls nearby.
A common point of confusion
A single local win does not finish the overall game. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
