Quantum Tic-Tac-Toe Rules

Quantum Tic-Tac-Toe is a futuristic twist on the classic game, where moves exist in superposition and can entangle. Here’s how to play:

  • Quantum Moves: Players (X and O) take turns placing two quantum marks (e.g. pair of X1) in empty squares. Each mark is a superposition, not yet X or O.

  • Entanglement: After placing a pair, the game checks for a cycle of connected squares. If a cycle is detected, the board enters an "entangled" state.

  • Collapse: In the entangled state, click a mark in a cycle square to collapse it to X or O. This resolves all entangled squares based on the cycle.

  • Winning: The game ends when a player gets three X’s or O’s in a row, column, or diagonal after all squares are resolved.

  • Draw: If all squares are resolved and no player has three in a row, the game is a draw.

Tip: Strategize your quantum placements—entanglement can turn the tide unexpectedly!
