- A closed required board permits play in any open board.
- Win local boards, then a large-board line.

Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. Use the control method described here for this activity. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.
A useful example
A top-right cell sends the next player to the top-right mini-board. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Consider the next action carefully.
Watch out for this
A single local win does not finish the overall game. A different version of the game may use a different rule. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
