CODETALK is a unique Tic-Tac-Toe game for 2 to 4 players.

The basic principle of the game is simple, but because the box grid that the next player can place his or her chip is determined by where the previous player place it, it's a strategic game where you have to think about attack and defense at the same time in a limited area.

     GOAL OF THE GAME **

The first person to place 3 or more chips in a row wins. (Either Horizontally, Vertically, or Diagonally)

     SET UP **

Put the Grid Board at the center of the table. Each player chooses the Colored Chip (Yellow, Red, Blue, Green). Make sure every color has 20 chips.

     PLAYING THE GAME **
  1. The grid board has 9 small box grids, and each box grid has 9 numbers.

  2. The first player selects one of the box girds and places a chip on one of the 9 numbers in that box grid. At this time, the player tells the selected box grid and the number where the chip is placed. “No. 3 of Grid 5!”

  3. The next player must place a chip within the small box grid number following the number where the previous player placed his or her chip. (Yes. The previous player placed it on No. 3, so this player can only place it on the box grid 3.)

  4. If all the numbers in the box grid are full, you cannot place a chip on the number of that box grid from the next turn.

      END OF THE GAME **
    
  5. If someone places 3 chips in a row, the game ends immediately and that player wins. The chips must be placed in a row either horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. [NOTE] This includes cases where the line crosses each small box grid.

  6. If all of the chips are used and there is no winner, it is a draw and we should start the game again.
