Play Tic-Tac-Toe as you would on paper. The game is two player single screen. Start the game by drawing the game board. The app identifies if a player has drawn the correct shape on their turn, or if they have drawn their shape in a cell that is free. If not the shape is erased and their turn is still in play. Double tap the screen when drawing the board to restart drawing. If you have a minute and enjoy Draw Tic Tac Toe, please leave a review. It helps a lot and I appreciate hearing your feedback.
