RULES:
This compact, portable, mini-game box has 3 different games to can play. Infinite Tic Tac Toe. Slide the power switch to single player to play against the device, or 2 player to play against a friend. The object of the game is to get 3 in a row by playing tic tac toe by tapping the screen to place your symbol, however, only 3 marks are allowed at a time for each player. When your 4th mark is tapped, your oldest mark will disappear. When playing against the AI, it will automatically adjust its difficulty based on how often you beat it.
Memory Flash. Slide the power button to the dotted circle. The object of the game is to tap the shown pattern in the correct order as its complexity slowly increases. Complete the stage to advance to the next. There are 3 stages per level, all with increasing difficulty. Complete all 9 levels to win.
Cover up tic tac toe. The object is to get 3 in a row. Remove the top lid to access the pieces. Assemble tic tac toe grid and each player picks a color and takes the pieces. Pick a player to go first, then turns alternate. On your turn you may either: place one of your pieces on an empty space; cover up any smaller piece already in play; or you can move one of your pieces already in play to an empty space or to cover up a smaller piece already in play. Only the topmost piece in a space may be moved. The first player to get 3 in a row wins.

Okay wait the “only 3 of your pieces on the board at a time” rule is a genius way to make tic-tac-toe actually fun and not just immediately draw every time

[@monster860]

The problem is that there is a strategy for X to always win, and you only have to memorize 5 different sequences of moves.

[@ODISeth]

@@monster860 in normal tic-tac-toe the fastest strategy for X to win is 4 moves, all 4 moves are necessary to secure a win. Since the first X placed disappears before playing the fourth, no normal tic-tac-toe strategies are effective with that game mode, I haven’t played it yet but I would be curious what if any strategies emerge, because just looking at it right now I can’t think of any

[@Nbrother1234]

It appears impossible to end in a draw at all…

[@Ryan_Celes3]

I love how they included that cover up version just in case you ever ran out of battery...

[@VieneLea]

1:04 ...that was an unexpected plot twist!

[@Theconsole847]

Yeah

[@CanadaPlayz48]

The 'digital' tic tac toe hiding a physical one under it was quite unexpected

[@BryndanMeyerholtTheRealDeal]

For the cover up tic-tac-toe, if you move a piece, and it was covering one of your opponent's pieces, then your opponent could win depending on how the pieces are placed.

[@adrianwoodruff1885]

But it could also lead to both having 3 in row.

[@Nbrother1607]

Ah yes, 4-in-1 Tic-Tac-Toe 1. Regular 2. Coverup 3. Infinite 4. Memory wth why am i getting so many likes

[@KororaPenguin]

Given that regular Tic-Tac-Toe is solved, attempts to make it more challenging are to be expected.

[@jasonb8644]

I ALWAYS come to your videos on how to play games. You explain them perfectly. On a side note, you should rate the games you explain 1-10 or something on a fun meter! It would give people good games to look for. Maybe a video of your favorite top 20 games or something.

[@squarohedron0664]

the grid is the black dots illusion

[@connorclouse321]

That might be cool. But Jim, has that game existed before?

[@Muho_is_me]

Tic tac toe plus

[@ellismiles9109]

Why isn't this just a phone app

[@monosophy691]

It is sometimes exciting to touch an object that is different from another object

[@deadersurvival4716]

It is. There's even a computer version on Steam that lets you do this one a tic-tac-toe grid on two layers.

[@PlushworksInc.]

Money

[@tranmanhuc6235]

TTT meets Simon and Otrio (surprisingly, physical pieces are included)

[@BlueSheep777]

Make The Settlers of Catan's expansions!

[@superagaming_064]

The third game mode is the same as goblet gobblers except for some changes

[@BernardBolanowski]

how do you play regular tic tac toe on this?

[@Rabbit635]

i feel bad for o because o always loses

[@lucifergamingfr7180]

2 digital and 1 physical gamemode

[@sanskarthepro]

So we can't play the normal ttt ;-;

[@freezeburn9875]

Nothing is stopping you from using the Cover Up pieces for Normal Tic Tac Toe

[@yoman8027]

No one can properly play it, to be honest.

[@Ninjaboiiiiiiiii]

Normal one is just boring, I’d rather play this than the normal one

[@sanskarthepro]

I agree there is like a 5 minute trick that if both players learn then it's always a tie

[@avaraportti1873]

Oh, it's Canadian April Fools' Day

[@TraninhSon-fi8mt]

Oh Tic-tac-toe.

[@LoveKirbythecutepinkball]

The rules are the same as the regular tic tac toe except for these changes

[@ls190v2]

Oh. Neat.

[@DigaRW]

Coverup tic-tac-toe is somewhat more better to be standalone game than being part of this set.

[@tranmanhuc6235]

Otrio is a similar game

[@Aura_Mancer]

Pretty sure you could 3d print this easily

[@Aiden45-w]

You literally beat against the AI

[@ORGOrange]

NAUGTS AND CROSSES 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

[@masterimbecile]

The rules are the same as regular tic tac toes except for these changes.
