Ultimate Tic-Tac-Toe: a guide for your next round

Choose a round of Ultimate Tic-Tac-Toe and settle into its rules. Win three mini-boards in a row on the large board. Look at what changes after your first action. Begin with the local players mode shown on the page. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.

Same-device two players.

Try a more deliberate round

After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again. Notice the feedback after each input.

What counts as success

Win three mini-boards in a row on the large board. Read that aim before choosing your first action. The example below illustrates a decision.

Work through the instructions

  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.

Getting comfortable with the 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. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.

Put the rules into context

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. Keep the game’s format in mind.

Pay attention to this rule

A single local win does not finish the overall game. Compare the situation with the worked example. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
