New game variant: "kriegspiel tic-tac-toe"

Setup:

Requires 3 people: 2 players and 1 "monitor."

Each player has three private tic-tac-toe boards, which their opponent cannot see, but the monitor can. They are labeled a, b, and c.

There are also 3 public tic-tac-toe boards which everyone

Can see. These are also labeled a, b, and c.

Gameplay:

Players take turns writing one symbol in one square on their private board. Squares that are occupied on a private board are also occupied on the corresponding public board.

Once a player draws a symbol on their private board, the monitor checks to see if their opponent has already occupied that square by writing a symbol on their private board.

If the square is already occupied, the player who tried to occupy it a second time loses their turn. The symbol in that occupied square is then drawn in the corresponding square of the public board

Scoring:

Whenever a player gets three in a row on a board, up-down, left-right, or diagonal, they get a point. The winning board is not publicly revealed, but players may no longer play on it.

Winning:

Caption: Whoever has the most points when no more moves are possible wins.
