How to play: rules
- Nine small boards make one big board. The first player is X and may start anywhere.
- The square you pick inside a small board sends the other player to the small board in the same spot of the big board. On your turn, the board you must play in lights up.
- Three in a row on a small board wins that board. A won board, or a full one, is closed: nobody plays there again.
- If you are sent to a closed board, you may play in any open board (they all light up).
- Win three small boards in a row (across, down or corner to corner) to win the game. If every board is closed and nobody has three in a row, it’s a draw.
- Tip: every move is also a choice of where your opponent plays next. Don’t send them somewhere they can win!

History & origins
Ultimate Tic-tac-toe is a modern expansion of the familiar three-by-three pencil game, using nine small boards inside a larger one.
The key development is linked movement: the square you choose determines the small board your opponent must play next.
This turns a simple solved game into a deeper positional contest. Its background is that modern variant tradition, without a securely established single inventor.
