Exploding Tic Tac Toe is a high stakes psychological battle that will test your ability to connect 3 in a row and out-psych your opponent.


The game will be played in 4 rounds, using the same board each round.


One player will be "X" and the other player will be "O".


Before each round, both players will secretly choose a square to mine.

This will be a dangerous square that is at risk of exploding!


On your turn, you must choose a square to put down an "X" or an "O". If that square is mined, it explodes and you immediately lose the round.


Otherwise, the points on that square is added to your score.

If you achieved 3 in a row, you win the round.


If after the 4th round, both players have won 2 boards, then the player with the higher score wins the game.
