Tic Tac Toe – 5 In Row is a fun board game. It is an extension of the classic tic tac toe game we all played as kids – only this version is for adults. Instead of playing using 3 “X”s and “O”s (stones) on a 3x3 square board - Tic Tac Toe – 5 In Row offers you an unlimited number of stones on a board of 15x15 squares (25x25 on iPads) and you need to get 5 stones in row to win. It is a very simple game but takes much more strategic thinking in placing the stones than anticipated. Thus it is a great game to play against your kids as it is equally funny to both adults and kids. Tic Tac Toe – 5 In Row features: - Single player games – play against your iPhone/iPad. - Multi player games – play a friend sharing the same iPhone/iPad. - WiFi player games – play a friend on the same local WiFi network. - Get help in placing your next stone. - Full Screen player option for better overview. - Statistics on how many games your have won. - High Score lists. - Select the skills level that suits you best when playing your iPhone/iPad. - Select the number of squares on the board. - Select between a wide range of layouts and board. - Create you own customized layout. - Description of game rules and terminology. - Animated instructions on tactics and strategies.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Tic Tac Toe at 100% against Russian Solitaire's 50%. Tic Tac Toe also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 12.0). Russian Solitaire's advantage is rating (4.0 vs 2.9) and in-app purchases (none vs 2). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Russian Solitaire holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 2.9. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 7 and 8 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Tic Tac Toe's written reviews are positive against 50% of Russian Solitaire's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 7 months. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
