If you are over the age of 8 and haven't mastered the never lose strategy to this, I have another game for you. It's called Connect For(k to a power outlet).

Longer tic-tac-toe.

The smiling kids on the box were not having that much fun.

They had a giant one of these at the library before the pandemic. I hope it's gone by now.

There's a way to tie every game in this. I have done so with my friend when I was a kid.

Tic Tac Toe for Big Brained kids.

not great, but gave rise to one of the greatest videos of all time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qwGdiNJHWaU

Baby I'm gonna connect five you ain't even gonna see it comin'

It's very simple, fleeting fun at best.

I think I tried to play this once with someone who had lost all of the pieces and was determined to jam checkers into the thin-ass yellow plastic sheath.

It's basically a larger version of tic-tac-toe. Like that game, it also suffers the major flaw that anyone can easily force the end of the game into a stalemate erasing any sort of depth this game could have.
