A whole page of games
Each sheet holds up to twenty grids, numbered in the corner, with a tally row at the bottom for X wins, O wins and draws. Choose the classic 3×3 grid, the bigger 4×4 grid, or ultimate tic-tac-toe, the strategic version where every square is a board of its own.
How to play
- One player is X, the other O. X goes first.
- Take turns drawing your mark in an empty square.
- Three in a row across, down or diagonally wins. A full grid without a line is a draw.
Printing tips
Print single sheets in reading order, or make a pocket pad on A6 with Print-ready booklet for travel. Add the free rules card as the first page.

Frequently asked questions
How do you play ultimate tic-tac-toe?
Each square of the big board holds a small tic-tac-toe board. The square you play in a small board sends your opponent to the matching small board. Win a small board to claim that square, and win three small boards in a row to win the game.
Can I change the number of grids?
Yes. Choose 1 to 20 boards per page; the grids get bigger or smaller to fill the page.
Is there a 4×4 version?
Yes. Switch the variant to 4×4 for a longer game where you need four in a row.
