## What is Tic Tac Toe 2 Player?

Not the tic tac toe you know. Big pieces can cover — and capture — smaller ones.
Match in seconds online, try 20 different ways to play, or pass one phone around in Party Mode.
Learn it in 10 seconds; master it forever. Fun for 2 players, families and friends — kids and grown-ups alike.

■ Tic tac toe (noughts and crosses), evolved
Pieces come in three sizes. A bigger piece can cover a smaller one and take the square.
Move your pieces, uncover what's underneath, and turn the game around on any move.
We searched over 60 moves deep by computer and found no forced win for either player.

■ 20 ways to play
• Group Tic-Tac-Toe: 3–4 players at once
• Triple Rings: stack small, medium and large rings
• Rotate: twist a quarter of the board after every move
• Pick: you choose the piece your opponent places
• Rock-Paper-Scissors: capture with rock, paper and scissors
• Gomoku, SOS, Notakto, Vanishing, Four in a Row, Ultimate
• Traditional games from around the world: Morris (UK), Achi (Ghana), Picaria, Shisima (Kenya)

■ Choose your look
• Current look: cute characters as your pieces
• Classic look: pen-and-paper X and O (a chalkboard in dark mode)
Switch anytime in Settings.

■ Party Mode
A pass-and-play party game for 2–6 players on one phone. A roulette picks the rule; win points and crown a champion — with a silly forfeit at the end.

■ Daily Puzzle
One "win in N moves" puzzle every day — easy on Monday, tough on Sunday. Share your result and keep your streak going.

■ With friends
• Invite friends with a link or QR code and play right away
• Friend list and friend leaderboard

### 5/5 — 生まれ変わりすぎ

*2026-01-10*

昔から大好きなゲームです！
ですが久しぶりに開いたらイラストがすごく変わってる..........
別に嫌いなわけじゃないですが前のシンプルなのが好きだったなぁと思ってしまう自分がいる

### 1/5 — うーん

*2025-11-02*

マッチング中に1人モードができるのはいい、ただその1人モードで決着が着いたら広告に飛ばされるのは流石にないと思う。マッチング中ぐらいフリーでやらせてくれよと思う

### 1/5 — 先行が勝つ

*2025-07-16*

4×4が出ておもしろくなったが、3×3では先攻が真ん中に大を置くと絶対に勝てるやり方がある。
本家マルバのルールを見ると「先行の初手は真ん中以外に置く」とあり、このルールだとどちらが勝つかわからなくなるので面白いから、先攻が初手に真ん中置けないようアップデートしてほしい

### 1/5 — 無水

*2025-02-21, version 2024.9.23*

むじい

### 1/5 — おわってる

*2024-10-04*

おとももちとやりたいのにマッチングしない
むかつく

### 5/5 — とても良い

*2024-08-20*

とても良い

### 2/5 — マッチしない

*2024-08-02*

フレンドとマッチしません

### 2/5 — 広告の消し方がわからない

*2024-07-23*

広告がずっと表示される。
消すボタンもないし、時間表示もないからどうしたら広告が消えるのかわからない。
不親切すぎる。

### 1/5 — 広告

*2024-07-16*

ゴミげー

### 1/5 — 最悪

*2024-06-29*

全然マッチしないし広告も多すぎる。

- Choose your look: the character style or Classic (pen-on-paper X's and O's), in light or dark mode
- With the new rules, ranks and streak rankings start fresh at 30 kyu for everyone. Characters and accessories you've already unlocked are yours to keep
