The steps to 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.
Controls
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. Keep the playing area visible while using these controls. Look at the feedback after the action.
An example to follow
A top-right cell sends the next player to the top-right mini-board. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Read the matching step again.
Where a round can go wrong
A single local win does not finish the overall game. Check the rule before repeating the action. Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board.
