Nine games of tic tac toe in one. Win a small board to claim that square of the big board, then win three big squares in a row to win it all. Pass the mouse to a friend, or host a game and play them online.
A won board stays open. If you're sent there, you still have to play there, even though the moves can't change who owns it. You only get to play anywhere when the board you're sent to is completely full.
A won board is closed. If you're sent to a won or full board, you can play any open cell on any board that hasn't been decided yet.
Choose Play Online, click Host a Game, and send your friend the link (or the game code). The host plays X and picks the ruleset. Your browsers connect directly to each other, so keep the tab open until the game is done.
