About

Tic Tac Toe

Features
Read full description

Tic-tac-toe was solved decades ago. This is not tic-tac-toe. Tic Tac Toe: Gobble adds one rule that changes everything: a bigger cup can gobble a smaller one. Every gobble shifts the balance of the board. HOW IT WORKS Each player has five cups: one small, two medium and two large. Place your small cup first, then use your bigger cups to claim empty cells or gobble your opponent's smaller cups. Once a cup is placed, it stays there. Three of your cups showing in a row wins. FEATURES • Play a friend on one phone, or play the computer at three difficulty levels • Local Tournament: bracket or round-robin for 2–8 players, best-of-1 or best-of-3, with a champion screen • Timed mode: 5, 10 or 20 second turns • Alternative mode: two small, two medium and one large cup, placed in any order • Tutorial that teaches the rules in four steps • Colorblind mode: patterns on every cup so color is never the only signal • Skins: unlock Dark, Matrix and Miami Nights with in-app purchases • Full iPad support • No ads. No accounts. No internet required. A match takes 2–5 minutes. The regret lasts longer.
