A classic game – but far beyond the standard 3×3 game.
Games are quick tactical slugfests!

Community Insight:
This game is very addicting because it seems impossible to win which makes us determined to win. Would for sure recommend.
This is such a fun and addictive game of strategy! We love that it's now available on the iPhone.
Now here's something new! Calling it Tic Tac Toe is an oversimplification, this game is much more strategic and challenging than that. The AI is very good, so be prepared for some real gameplay, or you can faceoff against a friend in 2 player mode. You can also listen your own ipod music. Includes 2 different game modes. Very unique.
We stopped playing tic tac toe a long time ago, but when we saw the new circular version, we had to try it out with our kids. We had a great time. Great idea. Highly recommend.
Game is really good. Gives a new twist to an old classic.
Fun game, challenging yet easy to play. Very creative.
Wish it supported iOS 3.x AND the iPod / iPhone.
Works only on iPad which we saw much later when it did not show up on our iPhone 4.
