Competitive TicTacToe

You think you know Tic-Tac-Toe? It’s time for a twist. On a classic 3x3 grid, when the board is full, your oldest piece disappears. This single rule transforms the simple game into a mind-bending strategy puzzle where every move counts and there are no draws.

How it works

Players place Xs and Os on a 3x3 board. When the board becomes full, the oldest piece on the board vanishes to make room for the next move. The fading piece can swing a win for your opponent or force you to rethink your plan. You must anticipate not just the next move, but several moves ahead, remembering which piece fades next and how those fades reshape the board.
