Using the playing area
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. A careful first action helps you become familiar with the layout. Use the visible help when you are unsure of the next input.
Work through an example
A top-right cell sends the next player to the top-right mini-board. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Keep the game’s format in mind.
A useful caution
A single local win does not finish the overall game. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. After a move, check what changed. Decide which rule explains the new state before acting again.
