 These related games are called Not Your Normal Tic Tac Toe. In these games, you will use logic and strategy to play a classic game in new ways. Tic Tac Toe is a two player game. To play, you will need to print out the game boards and find two different colors of game pieces, five for each player. There are three versions of this game. The first version is the 3x3 game. On your turn, place a game piece in one of the spaces on the 3x3 board. Alternate turns until both players have played all three of their game pieces. If no one has one on your turn, move one of your game pieces to a spot that you think will help you get three in a row. Alternate turns and continue until one player gets three in a row to win. The second version is a 4x4 game. Each player now has five game pieces to play. Follow the same rules as in the first version except now you must get four in a row or four corners of a 2x2 or 4x4 square to win. The third variation is the floating 3x3 game. Using the 3x3 floating Tic Tac Toe board, follow the same rules as in the 3x3 game. Your 3x3 board now floats within the 4x4 board. Let's play! Notice the outline 3x3 boards. Remember throughout the game, all of the game pieces must remain in any one of those outlines. Think about these questions for the next time you play. What strategies will you use next time you play? What arrangement of your game pieces always causes your opponent to lose the game? Why do you think so? In the 3x3 floating board game, what arrangements of game pieces allow you to float the board? What arrangements force you not to be able to float the board?
