## What is Tic?

Serious tic-tac-toe battles on a single phone.

Tic-Tac-Toe for 2: Marubatsu turns those idle moments at restaurants and cafés into heated head-to-head battles. ("Marubatsu" is the Japanese name for tic-tac-toe: ○ vs ×.)

The rules are simple, but before long you'll be playing for real.
Choose from four game modes, from quick games to long, thoughtful matches:

Quick Battle (3×3, get 3 in a row)

Takes Time (6×6, get 4 in a row)

Strategic (9×9, get 5 in a row)

Ultimate (12×12, get 6 in a row)

Play against a friend on the same phone, or practice on your own against the CPU.

PERFECT FOR WHEN...

Your food still hasn't arrived

The conversation on a date needs a little spark

You want a quick game with family or friends

You're looking for a game to play with your kids

Don't let the sleek look fool you: this is a fierce battle of wits.

So who's going to win: you, or them? Welcome to the world of Marubatsu.
