Tic-Tac-Toe (-1300)

About this game

A very old game where each player attempts to place three of their markers (usually an X or an O) in a line on a 3x3 grid. The Romans called this game Terni Lapilli (this does not appear to be true, Terni Lapilli seems to be a distinct and separate game). It shares the board but the players only have 3 pieces each. The same game may be played not on the grid spaces but on lines where it is aka Three Men's Morris.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 1.3/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 4 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
