XOXO, What better game than to do Ultimate Tic Tac Toe on Valentine's Day! Hope you are enjoying this year's valentine with someone special. Everyone here probably knows how to play the original Tic Tac Toe game, but as a reminder, the goal of the game is to get three in a row to win. Cat's game after cat's game, Tic Tac Toe can get boring and repetitive. Ultimate Tic Tac Toe takes Tic Tac Toe to a whole other level. It involves much more strategy and thinking ahead which is why I love this game. I have included this game on the blog because of its portability and easy setup. All you need is a pencil and paper. How to Play Suggested # of Players: 2 1) First, draw the Ultimate Tic Tac Toe Board. The board is 9 tic tac toe "hashtags" within a larger tic tac toe "hashtag." Let's call the smaller Tic Tac Toe games their own sections. 2) Most of the rules from Tic Tac Toe are the same. X starts first anywhere. Once you get 3 in a row in a section, you win that section. Win 3 sections in a row on the bigger Tic Tac Toe board, you win the game. 3) Now the twist: Your opponent decides which section you go to to make your next move and vise versa. Let me explain. Wherever your opponent plays in a section, you go to the section relative to the board. For example, if they pick the top right corner of a section, you would make your next move in the top right section of the board. 4) Additional Rules
Happy Valentine's and happy playing!
