About Fading Tac Toe
Each side may only hold three marks: place a fourth and your oldest one disappears. That single rule turns a solved game into a shifting duel of threats and timing. Win a best-of series against a bot that thinks deeper every round.
How to play
- You are X, the bot is O; take turns placing marks on the 3×3 grid.
- Get three in a row to win the round.
- When you already have three marks, placing another removes your oldest — it is shown faded.
- Rounds that run 24 moves without a winner are draws.
- First to three round wins takes the series; the bot gets sharper as the series goes on.
Objective
Be first to win three rounds against the bot.
Tips & strategy
- Watch the bot's faded mark: the cell it frees next is often where your line opens up.
- A threat that survives your own fade is worth more than one that is about to vanish.
- Quick wins score extra, so press early while the bot is still sloppy.
