🎮 How to play Ultimate Tic Tac Toe

In Ultimate Tic Tac Toe, you do not just get to play anywhere. The square you choose to play in on a small board sends your opponent to the corresponding square on the large board. For example, if you play in the top-right corner of a small board, your opponent must play their next move on the small board located in the top-right corner of the main grid. To win, you must win three small boards in a row, column, or diagonal on the large grid.

💡 Tips and Tricks for Ultimate Tic Tac Toe

Control the center. The small center board is the most valuable, as it gives you the most options. Try to send your opponent to a board that is already won or full. This gives you a ‘free’ move, allowing you to play anywhere on the main grid. Think about the ‘macro’ game (the large board) just as much as the ‘micro’ game (the small boards).

Do not get hyper-focused on winning one small board if it means losing a more strategic one.
Look for opportunities to create ‘forks’ on the large board.
This is a game of foresight, not reaction.

❓ FAQ

What if a move sends me to a board that is already full?

If the small board you are sent to is already won or tied, you get a ‘free move’. This means you can play your piece on any available square in any of the small boards, which is a powerful strategic advantage.

Is Ultimate Tic Tac Toe solvable?

Unlike regular Tic Tac Toe (which is a forced draw with perfect play), Ultimate Tic Tac Toe is significantly more complex. While it is theoretically solvable, the game tree is so massive that it is considered a deep strategy game for humans.
