Imaginary multi-level ticktacktoe

Abstract

A multi-level ticktacktoe game consists of a plurality of individual ticktacktoe game boards 30, 32, 34, associated in a planar array. The players take turns in making or selecting an individual square or location on any board; the winner is the first player to claim and prove that one of said player's selected locations on every board when the individual boards are stacked in a multi-level array (FIG. 1B). The number of associated boards may vary to provide variable levels of difficulty. The boards may have a permanent or integral attachment or association means 38 or may be associated by removable fasteners (FIGS. 2B-2D), hook and eyelet strip fasteners 44-50, magnetic means 52-54, or by a flexible web or hinge 56. The boards may be associated in a linear, circular (enclosing), or cruciform formation. Different levels of difficulty may be provided on the same boards by the provision of three, four, five, or more different but interspersed design matrices 58, 62, 64 for the respectively different levels of difficulty.
