Abstract
A three-dimensional tic-tac-toe game including a game board having a plurality of modules adapted to be interconnected to one another, a plurality of X-shaped game pieces, and a plurality of O-shaped pieces. Each of the X-shaped game pieces and O-shaped pieces includes protrusions at one end and recesses in an opposite end. Each of the modules includes recesses. The protrusions of each of the X-shaped and O-shaped pieces are adapted to engage the recesses of the modules, as well as the recesses of other X-shaped or O-shaped pieces. The X-shaped and O-shaped pieces may be stacked on top of one another for three-dimensional game play. Alternately, the modules and the X-shaped and O-shaped pieces include magnets to engage one another.

A tic-tac-toe game, comprising:
- a game board having a plurality of modules adapted to be interconnected to one another, each of the plurality of modules including a pair of recesses;
- a plurality of X-shaped game pieces, each of which includes a first end, a second end opposite the first end, a pair of legs, each of which extends from the first end to the second end, a pair of protrusions, one of which extends from the first end of one of the pair of legs, and the other of which extends from the first end of the other of the pair of legs, and a pair of recesses, one of which is formed within the second end of one of the pair of legs, and the other of which is formed within the second end of the other of the pair of legs;
- and
- a plurality of O-shaped game pieces, each of which includes a first end, a second end opposite the first end of the O-shaped game piece, a pair of protrusions extending from the first end of the O-shaped game piece, and a pair of recesses formed within the second end of the O-shaped game piece,
- wherein each of the protrusions of each of the plurality of X-shaped game pieces is sized and shaped to engage a corresponding one of the recesses of one of the plurality of modules of the game board, a corresponding one of the recesses of another of the plurality of X-shaped game pieces, and a corresponding one of the recesses of one of the plurality of O-shaped game pieces, and
- wherein each of the protrusions of each of the plurality of O-shaped game pieces is sized and shaped to engage a corresponding one of the recesses of one of the plurality of modules of the game board, a corresponding one of the recesses of another of the plurality of O-shaped game pieces, and a corresponding one of the recesses of one of the plurality of X-shaped game pieces.
A tic-tac-toe game, comprising:
- a game board having a plurality of modules adapted to be interconnected to one another, each of the plurality of modules including a pair of magnets;
- a plurality of X-shaped game pieces, each of which includes a first end, a second end opposite the first end, a pair of legs, each of which extends from the first end to the second end, a pair of first magnets, one of which is located at the first end of one of the pair of legs, and the other of which is located at the first end of the other of the pair of legs, and a pair of second magnets, one of which is located at the second end of one of the pair of legs, and the other of which is located at the second end of the other of the pair of legs;
- and
- a plurality of O-shaped game pieces, each of which includes a first end, a second end opposite the first end of the O-shaped game piece, a pair of first magnets located at the first end of the O-shaped game piece, and a pair of second magnets located at the second end of the O-shaped game piece,
- wherein each of the first magnets of each of the plurality of X-shaped game pieces is adapted to engage a corresponding one of the magnets of one of the plurality of modules of the game board, a corresponding one the second magnets of another of the plurality of X-shaped game pieces, and a corresponding one of the second magnets of one of the plurality of O-shaped game pieces, and
- wherein each of the first magnets of each of the plurality of O-shaped game pieces is adapted to engage a corresponding one of the magnets of one of the plurality of modules of the game board, a corresponding one the second magnets of another of the plurality of O-shaped game pieces, and a corresponding one of the second magnets of one of the plurality of X-shaped game pieces.
