Tic Tac Toe Multiplayer

Why We Picked Tic Tac Toe Multiplayer

Its name promises online play, and the page delivers three routes: a network match, the computer, or a friend holding the same device. Standard rules apply, so the skill is in the second move rather than the first: take the center, then answer threats instead of building your own. Against a person on the same screen it becomes social, with the trash talk doing half the work; with 3,201 plays it holds a modest place in Board, a page that does exactly one thing.

How to Play

Three things decide whether a run here goes well:

• Start a network match, choose the computer, or hand the same device to a friend.
• Take turns claiming squares and be first to hold three in a row on the grid.
• Answer an open two-in-a-row before you extend your own line, or the game ends early.

Editor’s Note

It works as a quick shared-screen icebreaker, and the network option is the reason to pick it over a paper grid. A single round lasts under a minute, so plan on several.
