I remember reading a Metafilter post about this popular ruleset. It’s pretty clever.
Yeah, I’ve been playing this game on paper with a friend (since this is an AI-only version) and we’ve realized that you want to ‘avoid the middle’ as much as you can, which results in an odd game. Usually the ‘end’ (filling in the larger ones) comes swiftly after a number of possible stalemates. Kinda feels like dominoes.
I’m glad to see a browser-based version of this classic game. Re: Ultimate Tic-Tac-Toe.
