The following is few examples of how i chose to re-think the rules of Tic-Tac-Toe.

Game 1

Equipment: paper pencil

shapes: X O triangle (2 players)

Set up: 10×10 grid

Goal: The first player to have 3 of the same shape in a row wins but every turn a triangle is placed adjacent to the placed shape.

Game 2

Equipment: paper, pencil

shapes: X,O (2 players)

Set up: 10×10 box grid , every 2 turns an outer layer of the grid is blacked out, players have 10 seconds to make a move.

Goal: to get  three of the same shape in a row.

Game 3

Equipment: paper, pencil, six-sided die

Shapes: X,O, Square, Triangle (2-4 players)

Set up: 100×100 grid player roles the die depending on the number is how many boxes of their choosing are blacked out if players roll the same numbers their turn to roll is lost.

Game 4

Equipment: paper, pencil

Shapes: X,O (2 players)

Set up: 5×5 grid, if 2 X’s surround an O like this XOX or in a diagonal way the O is erased or vice versa.

Goal: to erase as many of the opponents shapes in 2 minutes.

Game 5

Equipment: paper, pencil, six-sided die

Shapes: X,O, Square, Triangle (2-4 Players)

Set up: each player gets a 10×10 grid then each must create the same shape using whatever their designated marker is after every turn a player rolls a dice and they can erase the marker from another’s shape  if the same number is rolled after by the same player or any other the amount of markers that were erased are then given back to the player that lost them.
