How to play
Easy to learn. Hard to beat.
Take turns placing your mark. Get enough in a row before your rival does.
Diagonal
Horizontal
Vertical
The rules
- Goal: get three marks in a row on the 3×3 board, or four in a row on the 4×4 and 5×5 boards. Rows can be horizontal, vertical or diagonal.
- Turns: players take turns. You are O and your rival is X.
- Timer: each turn lasts 20 seconds. If time runs out, a random free square is played for you.
- Draw: if the board fills up with no winner, the round is a draw.
Game modes
- Play vs The Doll: pick Easy, Medium or Hard and a board size.
- Random match: choose a coin stake, then the app finds an opponent. Winner takes the stake.
- Pass & Play: two players share one phone.
Coins
Coins are virtual. Earn them by winning, completing missions and claiming daily rewards. Spend them on stakes, tournament entry and cosmetics. They have no cash value.
Pro tips
- Take the centre on a 3×3 board whenever you can.
- Look for two threats at once, a “fork”, so your rival cannot block both.
- On 4×4 and 5×5 boards build in the middle and watch the diagonals.
- Always check what your rival is about to complete before you start your own line.
