Ultimate Tic-Tac-Toe: 9-Board

ULTIMATE TIC-TAC-TOE: 9-BOARD

The strategic twist on the classic game everyone knows. Easy to learn.
Impossible to put down.


THE TWIST

It looks like tic-tac-toe. It plays like chess.

The board isn't a 3x3 grid - it's a 3x3 grid of nine smaller 3x3 grids.
Every move you make sends your opponent to a specific small board on the
big grid. Win three small boards in a row to win the game.

Where you tap dictates where they play. Where they play dictates where
you go. Every move is a decision and a consequence.


WHY IT'S DIFFERENT

Regular tic-tac-toe takes ten seconds to solve. Most kids figure it
out in an afternoon and never play again.

A good move on the small board can be a terrible move on the big
board. Strong players still argue about openings, but the rules take
30 seconds to learn.


WAYS TO PLAY

SOLO - Four AI difficulty levels:

- EASY: makes mistakes and doesn't punish yours. Good first opponent.

- MEDIUM: the sweet spot. Beatable, but never careless.

- HARD: deep search with a positional heuristic. It plans several moves
ahead and punishes loose play. Expect to lose your first few games.

- EXPERT: the ceiling. It uses every moment it is given and plans well
past the move in front of it. Beating it means you have learned the
game.

PASS-AND-PLAY - Two players, one device. Take turns on the same iPhone.
Great for trains, waiting rooms, and arguing with your roommate.

TUTORIAL - Built-in interactive tutorial that teaches the rules by
playing them, not by explaining them.

DAILY CHALLENGE - One new position a day, the same for every player,
against the Hard AI. One attempt, then practice it as often as you
like. Keep your streak alive and compare on Game Center leaderboards.
