Tic tac toe doesn't have a forced win though ...
- willis936 6y agoDoes it have a forced lose? It might be more fun to play tic tac toe but the win condition is flipped.
- thethirdone 6y agoI don't think it does, but I am not sure. Given how easy it is to draw normal tic tac toe, it definitely seems more interesting to flip the win condition.
- Someone 6y agoNo. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tic-tac-toe_variants#Misere_Tic-tac-toe https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tic-tac-toe_variants#Misere_Ti...: “A 3×3 game is a draw. More generally, the first player can draw or win on any board (of any dimension) whose side length is odd, by playing first in the central cell and then mirroring the opponent's moves.”
- aliceryhl 6y agoOops. Luckily the argument still holds. You can prevent the aliens from winning with certainty.
