The standard game of tic-tac-toe is too easy. How can we, as mathematicians, play with the combinatorics of tic-tac-toe? There are (at least) three easy ways to modify the game of tic-tac-toe: increase the width of the board - like this 5x5 board - increase the dimension of the board - like this 3x3x3 board - or increase both, like this 4x4x4 board.
