The board will show lines that have just added to the score.

Rules

  1. Each of the two players uses 'X' or 'O' as a token, and they take it in turns to occupy available squares.
  2. Each row of three occupied squares (in any dimension or dimensions) scores a point.
  3. The winner is the player with the most points when all available squares have gone.
  4. The most central square gives too much advantage and is not available to either player.

» In four dimensions there are nine grids, so even more possibilities for scoring. The top left 'X' would have made four points here
