A familiar game made even more fun in a giant format.
Tic-tac-toe is one of the best-known games for children and adults. In this MAXI version, the game becomes more interactive and visually engaging, with a large floor grid and easy-to-handle wooden pieces.
This set is designed for two players. Each participant tries to create a winning line while also paying close attention to the opponent’s moves and blocking their attempts.
How to play
Place the rope grid on the floor, carpet, terrace, or grass. Each player chooses a symbol: X or O.
Players then take turns placing one piece at a time in an empty square, trying to be the first to form a row of three matching symbols.
A winning line can be:
-
horizontal;
-
vertical;
-
diagonal.
At the same time, each player must watch the board carefully and interrupt the opponent’s combinations when needed.
Why choose the maxi version?
Unlike the classic paper version, this set lets children play with real, oversized pieces that they can hold, move, and place by themselves.
The larger format makes the game especially suitable for:
-
family playtime;
-
children’s rooms and play corners;
-
outdoor play in the garden or yard;
-
group activities and children’s events.
What skills can children practise through play?
-
Logical thinking, by choosing the best move.
-
Strategic thinking, by anticipating the opponent’s next step.
-
Attention and concentration, by following the board closely.
-
Turn-taking and rule-following, in a two-player game.
-
Hand-eye coordination, while placing the large pieces.
-
Social interaction, through shared face-to-face play.
