Nine games on a grid

Classic

Three in a row on a 3 by 3 board. The master computer never loses: the best you can do against it is a draw.

Vanishing

Each side has no more than three marks on the board: a fourth one erases the oldest. The mark that will vanish next is drawn faded.

Five in a Row

An 11 by 11 board where you need five marks in a row. Games run long: watch your opponent's threes and fours, because an open four can no longer be blocked.

Nine Boards

One big board made of nine small ones. The cell you pick inside a small board sends your opponent to that small board. Win three small boards in a row to win the game.

Misère

The rule turned upside down: whoever first gets three of their own marks in a row loses. You win when your opponent runs out of safe cells.

Wild

On each move you choose the mark yourself, X or O. Whoever completes three identical marks in a row with their move wins, no matter who placed them.

Order and Chaos

A 6 by 6 board where both players place either mark. Order tries to get five in a row, Chaos gets in the way until the board fills up. There are no draws.

Notakto

Three 3 by 3 boards and one shared mark, X. Three in a row kills a board, and whoever kills the last live board loses.

Cube Slide

A 5 by 5 board made of cubes. Take a cube from the edge, put your mark on it and push it in from either end of its row: the others shift along. You need five of your marks in a line.

Who to play with

The computer at three levels: the beginner makes mistakes, the amateur sees threats, the master plays for real. Two players on one screen. Online with a live person: search for an opponent in the game you picked, or open a room for a friend. The room window shows a large code, a link and a QR code, so your friend joins in a couple of taps. Each move has a thirty-second limit.

Tournament, cups and the daily game

A tournament of two seasons and twenty-five rounds: each round is a match against one opponent, a loss carries no penalty, and you can try again right away. Rounds unlock themes, six in all: notebook, chalkboard, neon, wood, candy and space.

Besides the tournament there are twenty-seven knockout cups: three games in a row in each mode, bronze against the beginner, silver against the amateur, gold against the master. One daily game for everyone, a daily streak that earns hints, and medals for achievements. A practice game explains the rules in a couple of minutes. A best-move hint is available in games against the computer and in two-player games.

Controls

Mouse, touch or keyboard: the arrow keys move the selection across cells, Enter places a mark. On the small cells of a phone screen, the first tap shows the mark and the second places it, so a slip of the finger doesn't cost you a move. Russian and English, and the sound can be turned off.
