Object
Be the first player to get 4 of your pieces ( X or O ) in a row, either horizontally, vertically or diagonally.
Contents
32 X pieces, 32 O pieces, 2 blocker pieces, 4 board tiles (each divided into 4 sections)
Set Up
Arrange the first board tile so that the connector edges are located on the right and bottom sides as shown.
Add the other board tiles, flat edge to connector edge, until you have all four boards together. The board is now formed into a 4 X 4, 16 section playing area.
Playing
One player takes all the X pieces; the opponent takes the O pieces.
The X player goes first, placing one piece on the playing area. Players then alternate turns and can place pieces directly on the board or upwards on top of already played pieces.
Tip: To separate pieces more easily, tilt them instead of pulling straight up.
During the game you will be connecting pieces as shown.
Ending and Winning the Game
The first player to get four of their pieces in a row, either vertically, horizontally or diagonally wins.
Game Variations
Blockers
The two blockers—black pieces—can be used to add different strategy to the game. The rules for using them are:
- A blocker can only be used to block an opponent's win.
- A player's blocker must be used before taking your regular turn.
You can give each player a blocker or, when playing against a less experienced player, give one or both to that player.
3 X 3
Instead of using the full 4 X 4 section board tile, you can contain your game play to a 3 X 3 section. In this case 3 in a row wins the game.
