Tic-tac-toe (American English), noughts and crosses (Commonwealth English), or Xs and Os (Canadian or Irish English) is a paper-and-pencil game for two players who take turns marking the spaces in a three-by-three grid with X or O. The player who succeeds in placing three of their marks in a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal row is the winner.
Treblecross. Treblecross is a degenerate tic-tac toe variant. [1] The game is an octal game, [2] [3] played on a one-dimensional board and both players play using the same piece (an X or a black chip [4] ). [5] [1] [3] Each player on their turn plays a piece in an unoccupied space. The game is won if a player on their turn makes a line of three ...
SOS (paper-and-pencil game) SOS is paper and pencil game for two or more players. It is similar to tic-tac-toe and dots and boxes, but has much greater complexity. [1] SOS is a combinatorial game when played with two players. In terms of game theory, it is a zero-sum, sequential game with perfect information .
Tic-tac-toe variants. A complete game of Notakto, a misère variant of the game. Tic-tac-toe is an instance of an m,n,k-game, where two players alternate taking turns on an m × n board until one of them gets k in a row. [ 1] Harary's generalized tic-tac-toe is an even broader generalization. The game can also be generalized as a n d game. [ 2]

Quantum tic-tac-toe. An animation of the game being played. Quantum tic-tac-toe is a " quantum generalization" of tic-tac-toe in which the players' moves are "superpositions" of plays in the classical game. The game was invented by Allan Goff of Novatia Labs, who describes it as "a way of introducing quantum physics without mathematics", and ...
Futile game. In game theory, a futile game is a game that permits a draw or a tie when optimal moves are made by both players. [ 1][ 2] An example of this type of game is the classical form of Tic-tac-toe, [ 3] though not all variants are futile games. The term does not apply to intransitive games, such as iterated prisoner's dilemma or rock ...
