Tic Tac Poof is Tic Tac Toe with a twist: each player can have only 3 marks on the board. When you place a 4th mark, your oldest mark goes poof. A faded mark shows which one goes next, so every move counts. Ways to play: • Play Computer: choose Easy or Hard. • Pass and Play: two players on one phone. • Play Online: create a game, share the code, and play a friend on another phone. Every game has a 3-minute clock. If no one wins in time, the game is a draw. No ads. No account. Online play needs only a nickname.
