Have You Played… tictac.io?All for noughts

All for noughts

Tictac.io was almost the first game I covered from the treehouse. It’s noughts and crosses (aka “tic tac toe” if you don’t acknowledge that the ground is a floor) online, except in realtime, and you can pick up and move the pieces after you place them. It’s bloody great.

We weren’t able to get it working properly here in the office. I’ve no idea why and it’s a real shame, because when I played it at home with my friend Deborah, it waschaos. There are many games that are tense but exhausting and faintly unpleasant for me. Tictacdoteyeoh’s short games, frantic music and slow movement made for a fierce and exciting tension that invariably ended in both us of cackling with laughter and relief. We both figured out a handful of strategies at about the same time, and quickly copied ones we hadn’t thought of from each other.

Tictac.io can be played for free onits own site.
