 Tic-Tac-Toe (Tabletop Game)
comment
Tic-tac-toe, also called tick tack toe, or noughts and crosses/Xs and Os as it is known in the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand, is a pencil-and-paper Abstract Strategy Game of unknown origin. Two players, X and O, take turns marking the spaces in a 3×3 grid. The X player usually goes first. The player who succeeds in placing three respective marks in a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal row wins the game. If the board fills up before anyone accomplishes this (which is very likely to happen between players with any experience), the game is a draw.The first (or second) video game, OXO, is pretty much this in video game form. It was also the basis for Tic-Tac-Dough and The Hollywood Squares, as well as the Secret "X" game on The Price Is Right.

comment
Unwinnable by Design: If two skilled players play the game, they will inevitably force themselves into a draw. Many computer players, starting with OXO from 1952, can play a perfect game with no mistakes, so it is impossible to win against them. In fiction, not realizing this is a sign of a character being Book Dumb, a Fish out of Water, or otherwise stupid or naive. If the character is a robot or AI, it's a sign of Artificial Stupidity.

No Plot? No Problem!: There's no plot. Just put your X's or O's in the grid and try to get three in a row.

Difficulty Levels: Some computer players never lose. To give the human a chance, some video games have difficulty levels. Ostermiller's Tic-Tac-Toe has four difficulty levels: Novice makes random moves, Intermediate blocks two-in-a-row, Experienced makes the best first moves, and Expert plays perfectly. Tim Soft's Tic-Tac-Toe has Easy, Normal and Hard. If you find the flaw, you can still win about 1 in 4 games against Hard.

Abstract Strategy Game: The rules are simple and fully abstract, and the course of the game is dictated entirely by where players choose to put their X's and O's.

Strategy Game: One needs some strategy to avoid defeat in this game, as players are technically attacking and defending at the same time.
