Tic-Tac-Zap! (1-2 players)

💡Game Concept

Tic-Tac-Zap! is a two-player strategy game where the objective is to line up three buttons of your colour (blue or red) on a grid (horizontally, vertically or diagonally). But be careful, the game pad is never fixed! The ‘Zap!’ rule can change everything: each player can only have a maximum of three buttons on the grid at any one time. As soon as you place your third button, the oldest button (the first one placed) is immediately removed. This unique constraint turns the three-in-a-row game into a tactical and unpredictable race!

🧩 How to play ?

Tic-Tac-Zap! is played by two players (Blue and Red) or against Fabli.
1. Play in Duel mode (2 players) or face Fabli (1 player). The player always starts the game.
2. Taking turns, each player places a button of their colour on a free square on the grid.
3. The ‘Zap!’ rule: Each player can only have three buttons on the board at a time. When a player places their third button, the oldest one (the first one placed) is immediately removed.
4. The game ends as soon as one player (or Fabli) manages to complete a row of three.

🤩 Advantages

Tic-Tac-Zap! actively stimulates strategy and anticipation, as children must constantly anticipate the effect of their own pieces being removed. It also strengthens working memory and
