Play Ultimate Tic-Tac-Toe with the rules at hand

Same-device two players.

Practice with a purpose

After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Make the next step deliberately.

Understand the aim

Win three mini-boards in a row on the large board. Keep that objective in view throughout the round. Review the board or playing area as it changes.

A walkthrough of the rules

  1. Play inside the required mini-board.
  2. Your selected square sends the opponent to the corresponding mini-board.
  3. A closed required board permits play in any open board.
  4. Win local boards, then a large-board line.

Choosing and moving on screen

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. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.

An example to follow

A top-right cell sends the next player to the top-right mini-board. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Read the matching step again.

Check this before moving on

A single local win does not finish the overall game. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. 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.
