About Hazel Tic Tac Toe

Noughts and crosses played properly ends drawn every single time, which is exactly why it survives as a first strategy game for small children: the lesson is that some games are solvable, and losing one means a mistake was made rather than luck went badly. This version keeps the board at three by three and dresses it up for the nursery age group. Take the centre when it is offered, take a corner when it is not, and watch for the fork — two lines of two created by one mark — because that is the trap a child falls into repeatedly before learning to set it.
