Ultimate Tic-Tac-Toe

🎯 Goal: Win three small boards in a row to win the big board!

📦 Setup: Draw a 3×3 grid of Tic-Tac-Toe boards — each small board has its own 3×3 layout.

🔁 Turn Order: Players take turns marking X or O on any open cell in one of the small boards.

📍 Targeting Rule: Your move sends your opponent to a specific board — the position you choose inside your board determines which board they must play on next.

For example: If you play in the top-right cell, your opponent must play in the top-right small board.

🚫 Closed Board: If the target board is already won or full, your opponent may play in any open board.

🏆 Winning a Board: Win a small board using normal Tic-Tac-Toe rules (3 in a row).

🥇 Winning the Game: Be the first player to win 3 small boards in a row on the big board.

🔒 Drawn Boards: If a small board ends in a draw, no one gets it — treat it as a locked square.

🧠 Strategy Tip: Think ahead — you’re not just playing your move, you’re choosing your opponent’s next challenge!
