We created this app as part of our EC 327 (Intro to Software Engineering) final project at BU. The Motivation behind this app was to take the simple and fun game from our childhood, Tic-Tac-Toe and to create a more strategic and competitive version of the game which can be used by adults as well. It is a great way to pass the time and relax.
The game has both single player and single device multiplayer options. There is a sweet tune playing in the background during each game as well. The game has a confirm move button to prevent accidental moves which can occur when playing on smaller screens. For new users, the game also has a How To Play manual which explains the rules which are pretty simple and build upon the rules of regular Tic-Tac-Toe. A reset button allows for the game to be started all over again

There is a big 3x3 game board which contains 9 smaller 3x3 game boards. These small game boards are just like traditional 3x3 Tic-Tac-Toe boards
Player 1 starts with an X and can choose to play in any small board. This move affects which board player 2 can play in. Whichever small box the current player makes a move in, the next player has to play in the same box of the larger board
Once the player wins three in a row in a small board, they mark the board (blue or red)
Once the player marks three small boards in a row, they win the game
