Tic Tac Stack

Read full description

Tic-tac-toe just got a brain upgrade. In Tic Tac Stack, bigger pieces gobble smaller ones. Stack your way to three in a row โ€” but watch out, your opponent can steal any square by dropping a larger piece on top. Every move hides a secret. Every win feels earned. Stack pieces from three sizes. Play smart. Outsmart the AI or challenge a friend. HOW IT WORKS Place a piece on any empty square. Or gobble your opponent's piece by covering it with a bigger one. But be careful โ€” you can gobble your own pieces too. The board shifts with every move. What looked like a win can disappear in one play. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT Classic tic-tac-toe always ends in a draw. Tic Tac Stack never does. With three piece sizes, hidden stacks, and shifting board states, every match plays out differently. BUILD YOUR VILLAGE Win matches to earn power-ups and unlock new themes. Watch your settlement grow from a small camp into a thriving town as you climb the ranks. PLAY YOUR WAY Challenge the AI across multiple difficulty levels. Play a friend on the same device. Unlock new looks as you progress. Download free. No skill ceiling. No draws.

Tic Tac Toe

Tic-tac-toe was solved decades ago. This is not tic-tac-toe. **Tic Tac Toe: Gobble** adds one rule that changes everything: a larger cup can cover a smaller one. Every gobble shifts the balance of the board. **HOW IT WORKS** Each player starts with six cups in three sizes โ€” small, medium, and large. On your turn, place a cup on any empty cell, or use a larger cup to gobble an opponent's smaller cup. Once a cup is placed, it stays there forever. Three visible cups in a row wins. **FEATURES** - Pass-and-play local multiplayer โ€” two players, one phone - Single-player mode with adjustable AI difficulty - Tutorial for new players - Colorblind mode: patterns on every cup so color is never the only signal - Cosmetic skins โ€” unlock Dark and Matrix themes via in-app purchase - No ads. No accounts. No internet required. A full match takes 2โ€“5 minutes. The regret lasts longer.
