Tic-Tac-Toe

1.  A hash mark is made by drawing two parallel horizontal lines, overlapped by two parallel vertical lines.  9 empty spaces are created.

2.  Player 1 draws an X into one of the empty spaces.

3.  Player 2 draws an O into one of the empty spaces.

4.  Repeat steps 2-3 until three consecutive X’s are in a row (or column or diagonal), or three consecutive O’s are in a row.

Thinking about this simple, childhood game in such a precise manner made the game sound so much more complicated than I remember it being.  Trying to remember how the game was explained to me as a child is impossible, but it must have been in simpler terms.
