Abstract
A novel Tic-Tac-Toe board or electronic game differs from other versions of Tic-Tac-Toe by allowing the use of multiple “Neutrals”. “Neutrals” can replace an opponent's “X” or “O” on the Tic-Tac-Toe board, possibly preventing an opponent from winning the game on his/her next move or to change the board from a losing situation into one where a player can win on his/her next move. Also, the ability to replace an opponent's “X” or “O” with a “Neutral” extends the game to an infinite number of moves rather than the nine-move limit in a typical Tic-Tac-Toe game. Other embodiments of the present invention include dice, electronics, and magnetic games. Methods of playing the game are also disclosed, as is a novel storage box.
