Tic Tac Toe 2 Player: XO Game

What the game is and who it suits

Tic Tac Toe 2 Player: XO Game is a version of noughts and crosses, the pencil-and-paper game where two players take turns marking a grid with X or O. The listing aims it at adults who remember playing the game as children, and it can be played with or without a connection. Each game is short, so it works for quick rounds as well as longer sessions.

The listing rates the game for all ages under USK. Its rules are the traditional ones, so there is nothing new to learn beyond choosing a board size.

Board sizes and how a win works

The game offers four grid sizes: 3x3, 6x6, 9x9 and 11x11. The 3x3 board is the familiar version, while the larger grids give each player more room to build a line and block the other.

A player wins by placing a set number of their marks in a row horizontally, vertically or diagonally. The listing says three or more in a row, and the larger boards are where longer lines become possible.

Playing alone or against another person

In single-player mode you play against the computer on any of the four board sizes. The listing also describes a mode for two human players who take turns on the same game.

Both modes use the same grid and the same winning rule, so the choice mostly depends on whether you want an opponent who is always available or a person across from you.

Online two-player games with friends

The game includes online two-player matches, which the listing presents as a way to challenge friends. You can play these matches over a connection rather than passing one device back and forth.

The listing does not describe how friends find or join each other, so those details are not covered here.

Visual style of the board

The listing describes a neon glow effect on the board and marks, along with a design the developer calls its main visual feature. This is the only part of the game's look that the listing describes, so it is the only part covered here.
