  1. noughts and crosses

    Noughts and Crosses, also known as Tic Tac Toe, is a traditional two-player paper-and-pencil game where one player uses a cross 'X' as his marker, while the other uses a nought 'O'. The game is played on a grid (usually 3x3), and the aim of the game is to get three of your own markers in a row - either horizontally, vertically, or diagonally - before your opponent does. If all squares are filled and no player has made a row of three, the game is considered a draw.
