■Online Match ・You can compete online against people from all over the world. ・You can share a room pass and play against friends you know. ・In the case of friend matches, there is also a spectator mode. ■Rule ① The rules are the same as the tick-tack-toe, and the first player to line up three tiles vertically, horizontally, or diagonally wins. (In 6x6 mode, the first player to line up four tiles wins.) ② The difference is that you can set a trap. If your opponent places a tile on a spot where you have set a trap, that tile becomes your tile. Your opponent cannot see where you have set the trap. ③ If your opponent fails to fall for a trap twice, it expires. ④ You can place a trap twice in 3x3 mode and four times in 6x6 mode. ⑤ The game is a best-of-three game, and the first player to score two points wins. ⑥ One heart is consumed for each game played, but if you win the game, no hearts are consumed.
