Lordvos: /* Overview */

== Overview ==
'''Tic Tac Two''' is basically tic-tac-toe - but played on '''two boards at once'''.

* The '''main board''' works like normal tic-tac-toe. The first player is '''X''' and the second player is '''O'''.
* The '''tile board''' is a second grid of face-down tiles. Each tile sits in the same position as a square on the main board.

When you place a mark on the main board, the tile in the same position on the tile board is revealed.

'''Get three in a row on either board to win!!!'''

== The tiles ==
The eight non-center tiles are shuffled face down at the start of the game:

* '''3 X tiles''': these are X's.
* '''3 O tiles''': not unsurprisingly, these are O's.
* '''1 Wild tile''': this tile can be used as either an X or an O for '''both''' players on every line.
* '''1 Peek tile''': the player who reveals this tile can secretly look at one face-down tile (see below).
** '''However''', once revealed, the Peek tile is '''neither an X nor an O'''; it actively blocks 3-in-a-rows on the tile board.

=== The center tile ===
The center tile is never shuffled, and is always placed in the center of the tile board.

* This tile is neither an X nor an O until someone places a mark in the main board's center space.
* Once a player claims the main board's center, the center tile is then revealed following this special rule:
** The center tile will act as the revealing player's symbol - '''but only for the middle row and middle column'''
** '''However, the center tile will act as the revealing player's ''opponent's'' symbol''' for both diagonals

== Your turn ==
# Place your mark on any empty square of the main board.
# The tile in the same position of the tile board is then revealed.
# If you reveal the '''Peek''' tile, choose any face-down tile and "peek" at the tile value underneath. Your opponent is told which square you looked at, but not what the tile is. If no face-down tiles remain, Peek does nothing.

== Winning ==
You win by making three in a row on '''either board''', including the center tile (depending on its orientation), the wild tile and any revealed tiles.

'''Tie:''' ties can occur in two different ways:

* If all 9 squares are filled and nobody has a line
* If both players complete a line on the same turn - on the same or different boards - the game is a tie.

== Overview ==
Tic Tac Two is tic-tac-toe played on '''two boards at once'''.

* The '''main board''' works like normal tic-tac-toe. The first player is '''X''' and the second player is '''O'''.
* The '''tile board''' is a second 3×3 grid of face-down tiles. Each tile sits in the same position as a square on the main board.

When you place a mark on the main board, the tile in the same position on the tile board is flipped face up.

'''Get three in a row on either board to win.'''

== The tiles ==
The 8 outer tiles are shuffled face down at the start of the game:

* '''3 X tiles''': count for X.
* '''3 O tiles''': count for O.
* '''1 Wild tile''': counts for '''both''' players on every line.
* '''1 Peek tile''': lets you secretly look at one face-down tile (see below). It counts for '''nobody''' on the tile board.

=== The center tile ===
The center tile is never shuffled. It is always the special '''split center''':

* Until someone places a mark in the main board's center, it counts for nobody.
* Once a player claims the main board's center, the split center counts as:
** '''that player's symbol''' for the middle row and middle column
** '''the opponent's symbol''' for both diagonals
* It never moves or changes after that.

== Your turn ==
# Place your mark on any empty square of the main board.
# The tile in the same position flips face up. If you took the center, the split center activates.
# If you flipped the '''Peek''' tile, choose any face-down tile. Only you see what it is. Your opponent is told which square you looked at, but not what the tile is. If no face-down tiles remain, Peek does nothing.
# Both boards are checked for three in a row.

== Winning ==
You win by making three in a row on '''either board''':

* '''Main board''': three of your marks in a row, column, or diagonal.
* '''Tile board''': three face-up tiles in a line that all count for you. Your own symbol and Wild tiles count, and so does the split center if it counts for you on that line.

'''Tie:''' If both players complete a line on the same turn, the game is a tie.

'''Draw:''' If all 9 squares are filled and nobody has a line, the game is a draw.

== Tips ==
* Every mark you place also flips a tile, so a square that looks good on the main board might give your opponent a line on the tile board.
* Claiming the center is a mixed blessing. It helps you on the middle row and column, but it helps your opponent on both diagonals.
* The Wild tile helps both players, so watch the lines it sits on.
