Controls
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. Use the control method described here for this activity. Contact us with the game and device if a control does not respond.
A useful example
A top-right cell sends the next player to the top-right mini-board. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Notice the change in the playing area.
Watch out for this
A single local win does not finish the overall game. Check the rule before repeating the action. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
