How to play Otrio

[@mds_space2]

If you think about it, having those concentric slots is the same as having an extra dimension, so this is 3D Tic-Tac-Toe in disguise

[@Kazmahu]

Just what I was about to say. Three concentric pieces is an "upwards" three-in-a-row, and three pieces in a line in size order is a "sloping" three-in-a-row.

went here to comment that

Underated comment

[@theomelettecuber5458]

Just wit until we have a 4d one.

[@inanefool8781]

It's 3D tic tac toe if you were only allowed to put a mark on a given dimension 3 times, and you had to have ateast 3 symbols

[@honeyjuice219]

I still remember playing otrio at school but we didn't use the official version, we would make a tictactoe like grid on paper but subtable for otrio. ah the memories

[@versuzzero5335]

I remember playing this with pen and paper back in elementary, but not circles. Different shapes with a pen color per person. Same win condition, but the number of pieces is infinite instead of this one with limited 3 pieces per circle size for each player.

[@UnknownRager96]

This is a fun game, I remember seeing this on Vat19 and getting it. It's surprisingly complicated!

[@T101G]

So its basically a souped up version of noughts and crosses

[@remixtheidiot5771]

@AINIEL YABUT circles and X'es*

[@Bananenmilch-iy1bl]

It is essentially 3D Tick tack toe. each piece size represents a specific height. the only difference really is, that you can only place 3 pieces per layer

Can't wait for the day he gets sponsored by the creators of Chess

[@VieneLea]

Mr. Chess doesn't do that anymore

[@honeyjuice219]

I'm so hyped as we'll

[@honeyjuice219]

the creators hasn't even gone public for the last millenia. I wonder if thier considering chess 2 right now? 🤔🤔

[@frazze2113]

Garry chess should definetely sponsor him!

[@jaredongsing]

I use this game to explain 4th (spacial) dimension. It is very intuitive to see three boards next to each other, so it can be practice for high-level thinking like 5d Chess with Multiversal Time Travel.

[@hypercubemaster2729]

There is nothing 5D about that chess game. Also, 3 boards next to each other, although neat, are not an accurate representation of a true tesseract.

[@jaredongsing]

@@hypercubemaster2729 Since Otrio is a 2d representation of a 3d game, the additional layers adds the 4th spacial dimension. When visualizing the option to place the big, medium, and small rings as 3d tic tac toe, each size can be its own board laid out in a row. Then by layering those sliced boards over each other as a 3x3x3 cube, you would see that each win condition is a line segment: A) three of the same size makes a line on the X axis B) all three sizes on the same square makes a line on the Y axis C) all three sizes in a line in ascending/descending order is a diagonal. Applying the same concepts on three layers of a full Otrio board, again the same 3d win conditions exist across each layer AND you can play each board as a regular Otrio game. If each 2d board represents 3d, then a cube of 3d boards is 4d. Laying them out is just so I don't have to hold them the whole game.

[@danielyuan9862]

@@hypercubemaster2729 Although the game is technically 4D, it's called 5D chess because allowing yourself to time travel and travel through parallel timelines would be equivalent to traveling in 5D irl.

[@coruscaregames]

@@danielyuan9862 agreed, the description mentions a "hypothetical unused" 3rd dimension

[@sephalon1]

1:27 the board is presented as a tie board, but silver has won. Three small pieces across the center horizontal line. I'm fun at parties.

[@remixtheidiot5771]

this can probably be played using nothing but pen and paper. there are enough geometric 2 dimensional shapes for 4 players. circles, triangles, squares, and a hexagon maybe.

[@hypenheimer]

This game is 3D Tic-Tac-Toe, but with 4 players and each player can only place 3 pieces on each layer.

[@jordanwhite352]

When I used to work at Marbles the Brain Store before they went under this was the most popular game in our store and I was the literal champion at this.

[@LuigiFan1akaStar]

The latest games feels to have "If playing with 2 Players, both of them have 2 pieces each"

[@LuxisAlukard]

Simple and cool!

[@ActionCow69]

I found that 2 player games tended towards stalemate once both players get a hang of the game. And then 3-4 players, you can frequently feel like you lost because someone else made a bad move. The best strategy seems to be setting yourself up to win on 2 different lines with the same move, which forces your opponent to block twice unless you missed something and they can just win. Overall, eh, gets old quick.

Can you make a how to ply on Monopoly: Pokemon Kanto edition? Im really confused about the different kinds of gyms and pokemons

[@Nintendo_song-maker]

this feels like something middle school boys play during class with a few pens and a sheet of paper

[@rogerkearns8094]

What a cool game and great to look at, too. (A bit expensive, though, perhaps?)

[@SeadKorjenic]

Tic Tac Toe 2 is looking great

[@Santerim]

This is just tic tac tow but with extra steps

[@Fralther39]

No it is actually possible to play

[@takeyourdamnmeds]

*noughts and crosses

[@juliannahyde3896]

thank you!!

[@lyvindy0527]

Well this looks like Tic-Tac-Toe with extra steps.

[@RealTHEspectre]

imagine if this guy makes his own board game.

[@Penguinmanereikel]

They already made their own card game. It’s called Stroop’d

[@danik0011]

If you think about it, this is just 3D TTT, where the ring size is 3rd dimension.

[@ultrio325]

What a nice game

[@dynamik8883]

Tridimentional duouniversal tic tac toe.

[@arkasha6649]

What if players will run out of pieces to use?

[@donovanmahan2901]

then it ends in a tie just like if the board is full. That shouldn't happen however as regardless of the player count all players have at least 9 pieces of each size between them.

[@arkasha6649]

@@donovanmahan2901 ok

[@danielyuan9862]

@@donovanmahan2901 That's false, players only have three pieces of each size for a _total_ of 9 pieces. It is clearly stated in the video that a player who cannot make a move passes their turn.

This is basically the better tictactoe

so this is basically tic tac toe but 3d

What this really is is 3D Tic-Tac-Toe.
