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 โ€ข Play a friend on one phone, or play the computer at three difficulty levels โ€ข Local Tournament: bracket or round-robin for 2โ€“8 players, best-of-1 or best-of-3, with a champion screen โ€ข Timed mode: 5, 10 or 20 second turns โ€ข Alternative mode: two small, two medium and one large cup, placed in any order โ€ข Tutorial that teaches the rules in four steps โ€ข Colorblind mode: patterns on every cup so color is never the only signal โ€ข Skins: unlock Dark, Matrix and Miami Nights with in-app purchases โ€ข Full iPad support โ€ข No ads. No accounts. No internet required. A match takes 2โ€“5 minutes. The regret lasts longer.

Gobblet takes the game you already know โ€” Tic-Tac-Toe โ€” and adds a twist that changes everything: pieces come in three sizes, and a bigger piece can cover a smaller one. Suddenly the "safe" move you made three turns ago isn't safe anymore. Every square can be recaptured, every win can be overturned right up until the last move. It's the strategy of chess packed into a 3x3 grid you can master in a minute โ€” and never fully solve. Play your way Jump into a quick match against a sharp AI opponent, any time you want a game Challenge friends online in real-time multiplayer matches Rematch instantly and climb back in for another round Built for fast, fair matches A turn timer keeps games moving โ€” no waiting around for an opponent to decide Clean, distraction-free board so every match is about the strategy, not the UI Simple to learn, hard to master If you've ever played Tic-Tac-Toe, you already know the basics. Gobblet just makes sure the game never gets boring again. Download now and find out why the "obvious" move is rarely the right one.
