Description

A tic-tac-toe variant described on the box this way:

"Three in a row wins you a box, but carry on, you must get three boxes in a row to win the game. Your opponent may even be a box ahead, but a little luck and clever strategy can still cheat him of ultimate victory."

The molded plastic gameboard consists of boxes arranged in a three-by-three grid. Each box has holes also in a three-by-three grid. Each box has been assigned a number from three to eleven, inclusive. The object for each player is to win any five boxes or three boxes in a row: orthogonally or diagonally.

One one's turn, the two six-sided dice are thrown. The player must place a peg in any hole that has a number which matches the total thrown on the dice. A throw of twelve gives the player the freedom to peg any hole. A throw of seven lets a player peg any box's center hole. A throw of two lets one remove an opponent's peg. A player wins a box by getting three in a row or any five holes.
