- Stop your opponent from forming a row to end the game in a draw.
- Strategy
- General
- Keep the board symmetrical.
- Make sure you have one of your marks on either side of the board.
- This will help increase your chances of winning.
- Try to build on one side when the center space is taken.
- If your opponent lays their next mark on the other side, you can use it to clinch a victory.
- Force a draw
- It’s the next best thing to winning.
- It takes a lot of strategy to force a draw from your opponent, so it’s more challenging that simply winning.
- 5×5 grid
- When playing the 5×5 grid a player only needs to make a run of 4 in a row to win.
- When playing try to use the squares diagonally one in from the corners as they give you many play options between vertical, horizontal, and diagonal runs of 4.
- Be sure to look at diagonals to ensure you do not accidentally leave a 4-in-a-row opportunity open.
- For X
- The standard move is to go for the center. This gives you a greater chance of winning.
- Go for the corners. This will force your opponent to play defensively.
- Avoid laying any non-blocking moves on non-corner spaces.
- For O
- Play defensively until you gain an advantage:
- Take the center if they take a corner, or take a corner if they take the center.
- You can increase your chances to force a draw or capitalize on a blunder if you focus on blocks.
- See if you can block your opponent’s moves each time.
- Target Audience
- The game is suited for people of all ages who like tic tac toe.
