Tic tac toe the way you remember it, plus twelve new ways to play.
New: Tic-Tac-Attack
Two to five players claim squares, build up their pieces and attack their neighbors with dice. Take every square in Domination, hold a line right across the board, or win three Territories in a row.
13 ways to play
Start with the game you grew up with, then try a board that falls, a mark in two places at once, or nine games inside one.
3×3, three in a row.
Conquest with dice, for 2 to 5 players.
Classic backwards: three in a row loses.
Three marks each, and your oldest vanishes.
Nine boards in one. Your move picks your opponent’s board.
Three pieces each, placed and then slid.
4×4, 5×5, 9×9 and 15×15 Gomoku.
Drop marks into a 7×6 grid for four in a row, or play Tumble.
Three sizes of piece. Big ones swallow small ones.
Odds against evens. The first line to add up to 15 wins.
6×6. One side wants five in a row, the other stops it.
Marks in two squares at once, until a loop collapses them.
Choose the rows, the columns and how many in a row wins.
Play anyone
Make it yours
Play in the classic look or in Napkin, where the grid is drawn in pen on a paper napkin. Both are free. Each theme has its own sounds, its own win celebration and, on iPhone and iPad, its own app icon.
Tic-Tacular Pro adds sixteen more themes. Midnight neon, outer Space, an olive-drab field kit, Christmas sleigh bells, autumn leaves and more. A one-time purchase, with no subscription. Optional tips in the Tip Jar unlock nothing but my thanks.

Where it started
Whenever my dad and I went out to eat, the game started before the food did. One of us would borrow a pen, flatten a paper napkin on the table and draw the grid. X, O, X. Best of three, then best of five, then just one more, until the plates came out.
The napkins never made it home, but the games stayed with me. Tic-Tacular is for every one of those games.
