How to play Ultimate Tic-Tac-Toe

This PT-BUS page combines Ultimate Tic-Tac-Toe with a guide to the decisions it asks you to make. Win three mini-boards in a row on the large board. Use review the result to give your round a clear purpose.

Same-device two players.

Review the result

When a round finishes, compare what happened with the winning or scoring condition. Use that comparison to choose a better approach next time.

Your goal

Win three mini-boards in a row on the large board.

Step by step

  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.

Controls

Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback.

A useful example

A top-right cell sends the next player to the top-right mini-board.

Watch out for this

A single local win does not finish the overall game.
