Rule 2: The Twist - You Don't Choose!

Here's what makes it super: The square you pick determines which mini-board your opponent must play in next!

Example: If you play in the top-right square of a mini-board...

→ Your opponent must play somewhere in the top-right mini-board!

Rule 3: Active Board Highlighting

The board you can play in is highlighted with a colored border (red for Player X, blue for Player O). You can only make moves in the active mini-board!

← This mini-board is active. Play here!
← These boards are inactive. Can't play here.

Rule 4: Free Choice

You get free choice of mini-board if:

The directed mini-board is already won

The directed mini-board is completely full (draw)

In this case: All available mini-boards will be playable.

Rule 5: Claiming Mini-Boards

When you win a mini-board (get 3 in a row), it's marked with your symbol and becomes part of the big board game.
