## What is Tic Tac Ten?

Tic Tac Ten is a new reinvention of the classic Tic Tac Toe, adding increased strategy.

This is a lot harder to play this game, every move you make can be an advantage to your opponent if you are not careful.

Here are the basic rules.

1. Each turn, you mark one of the small squares.
2. When you get three in a row on a small board, you’ve won that board.
3. To win the game, you need to win three small boards in a row.
4. You don’t get to pick which of the nine boards to play on. That’s determined by your opponent’s previous move. Whichever square he picks, that’s the board you must play in next.

## Key features

- Strategic board selection
- Win three small boards in a row
- Classic Tic Tac Toe rules with a twist
- Increased complexity and strategy
- Single-player gameplay

### 5/5 — a fun game

*2014-02-04*

a bit trickier to win, and i sent it to all my friends.

### 3/5 — No AI, two humans only

*2013-07-17*

This game needs an AI to be interesting.

### 2/5 — Doesn't seem finished yet.

*2013-07-12*

No AI, you have to play against someone else. No online support to play a friend. So they have to be with you. 

When you win a board it doesn't cross the row out, it just colors the board. Hard to see. Would be really hard for color blind. Also, you can't pick the center of the center board. I think this is to prevent a technique I've seen called Orin's Gambit that pretty much guarantees a win for the first person to play. But the block is really only needed for the first move.
