The classic game of noughts and crosses: three levels against the computer, or two players on one screen.
Tic-tac-toe looks simple, but it teaches the heart of strategy: look ahead, block your opponent, create two threats at once. Against the unbeatable level, a draw is the best possible result — can your child find how?
Tic-tac-toe is often a child’s first strategy game, and it teaches more than it seems: thinking one move ahead, blocking the opponent, and building two threats at once so that one of them must succeed. Here children can play against the computer at three levels or against a friend on the same screen. The easy computer plays at random, the medium one mixes good and random moves, and the unbeatable one plays perfectly — against it, a draw is the best possible result, and finding how to get it is a real logic lesson.
Best for ages 5–99
