Tic Tac Toe Game Rules

1. Objective: The main objective of Tic Tac Toe is to get three of your own marks (either X or O) in a row, either horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.
2. Players: There are two players in the game. One player uses the 'X' mark, and the other uses 'O'.
3. Game Board: The game is played on a grid that's 3 squares by 3 squares.
4. Starting the Game: Players decide who goes first. Traditionally, one player is 'X', and the other is 'O'.
5. Taking Turns: Players take turns placing their mark (X or O) in an empty square. The first player to start typically uses 'X'.
6. Winning the Game: The player who succeeds in placing three of their marks in a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal row wins the game.
7. No Winner (Tie Game): If all 9 squares are filled and neither player has 3 marks in a row, the game is a tie.
8. Strategy: Players should focus on creating a line of three marks while also blocking their opponent's attempts to do the same. It often involves strategic placement and anticipation of the opponent's moves.
9. Game End: The game ends when one player wins by connecting a line of three marks or if all squares are filled without a winner (tie).
10. Replay: After the game concludes, players can choose to play again, often switching who starts first.

Tic Tac Toe is a simple yet strategic game that requires players to think ahead and anticipate the opponent's moves.
