Tips & Tricks
- Taking the centre square first generally gives you more ways to build a line than taking a corner or edge.
- Watch for two-in-a-row opportunities for your opponent and block them before placing your own mark.
- Try to set up two possible winning lines at once — your opponent can only block one.
- In 2 Players mode, agree on who goes first before each round so turns feel fair over a session.
- If you're facing the computer, try different opening moves to see how it responds.
