About Ultimate Noughts & Crosses

Ultimate Noughts & Crosses has been around for a while but may not be as widely known as its simpler predecessor.

The aim is to think several moves ahead, similar to chess, making each move significantly impact the overall game. This added depth ensures that the game remains engaging and challenging, offering a fresh perspective on a classic game.

How to Play

Ultimate Noughts & Crosses is a 2D competitive puzzle game that can be played with just a mouse, whether in single-player or two-player mode. Here’s a step-by-step guide to playing:

1. Starting the Game: The game begins with a tutorial that introduces the basic mechanics. You will see a large three-by-three board, each square of which contains a smaller three-by-three board.

2. Making Moves: To place a mark, move your cursor to a square and click the Left Mouse Button. Your move determines the board where your opponent must play next. For instance, if you mark a square in the top-left of a small board, your opponent will be forced to play in the corresponding top-left small board on the larger board.

3. Winning the Game: The objective is to win smaller boards to claim spaces on the larger board. The first player to align three of their marks in a row on the large board wins the game.

4. Endgame: The game concludes when a player achieves three marks in a line on the large board.
