Award winner: 1st Place, Shipaton 2026 HAMM Award. Tic-tac-toe, times nine. Win small boards, line them up, and out-score everyone. Three in a row isn't the end. Play until every board closes, and the highest score wins. HOW IT WORKS • The big board is made of small tic-tac-toe boards. • Win a small board to claim it: 1 point. • Claim three boards in a straight line: 3 bonus points for every line. • The match ends when every small board is closed. Highest score wins; a tie is a draw. PLAY YOUR WAY • 2, 3 or 4 players on one device: plus, circle, triangle and square. • Bots fill any empty seat, so you can play solo or with a full table. • Bigger boards for bigger tables: 3 and 4 player matches open up many more lines to fight over. • Offline practice against bots when you have no connection. 11 SPECIAL MOVES Bend the rules when the board gets tight. • Anchor: lock a piece so it can't be moved or overwritten. • Push: shove a row of pieces in any direction. • Dictator: choose the board your opponent must play next. • Overwrite: take a cell from an opponent. • Sandwich: flip enemy pieces caught between yours. • Bait: set a hidden trap among decoys. • Mirror: claim a cell and its reflection at once. • Nuke: clear a whole small board. • EMP: strip anchors and traps from a small board. • Gravity: tilt the whole board and let every loose piece fall. • Placement: decide where your opponent lands next.
