Ultimate Tic-Tac-Toe: 9-Board

ULTIMATE TIC-TAC-TOE: 9-BOARD The strategic twist on the classic game everyone knows. Easy to learn. Impossible to put down. THE TWIST It looks like tic-tac-toe. It plays like chess. The board isn't a 3x3 grid - it's a 3x3 grid of nine smaller 3x3 grids. Every move you make sends your opponent to a specific small board on the big grid. Win three small boards in a row to win the game. Where you tap dictates where they play. Where they play dictates where you go. Every move is a decision and a consequence. WHY IT'S DIFFERENT Regular tic-tac-toe takes ten seconds to solve. Most kids figure it out in an afternoon and never play again. A good move on the small board can be a terrible move on the big board. Strong players still argue about openings, but the rules take 30 seconds to learn. WAYS TO PLAY SOLO - Four AI difficulty levels: - EASY: makes mistakes and doesn't punish yours. Good first opponent. - MEDIUM: the sweet spot. Beatable, but never careless. - HARD: deep search with a positional heuristic. It plans several moves ahead and punishes loose play. Expect to lose your first few games. - EXPERT: the ceiling. It uses every moment it is given and plans well past the move in front of it. Beating it means you have learned the game. PASS-AND-PLAY - Two players, one device. Take turns on the same iPhone. Great for trains, waiting rooms, and arguing with your roommate. TUTORIAL - Built-in interactive tutorial that teaches the rules by playing them, not by explaining them. DAILY CHALLENGE - One new position a day, the same for every player, against the Hard AI. One attempt, then practice it as often as you like. Keep your streak alive and compare on Game Center leaderboards.
