These are the official rules for the yEAh Games-developed game, Yic Yac Yoe.
CONCEPT/GENERAL RULES:
• Each player places down a mark (on the board with their writing utensil) on their turn. This will vary slightly depending on the version.
• Contrary to the original game (Tic Tac Toe), the player loses when they place their marker on a spot that completes the (number decided for the length of a row)-long row (e.g., in a 3x3, the player loses when they place their marker to complete a 3-square-long row; the opposite of what happens in Tic Tac Toe.).
OTHER RULES:
• Other rules will apply depending on variations.
VARIATIONS:
To play the game, you must choose one variation per category — any option can be combined with any option:
⠀⠀1 — Board size:
⠀⠀⠀↳ Variable to your choice; you can choose the numbers (x by x squares).
⠀⠀2 — Number of placements (markings) on your turn:
⠀⠀⠀↳ 1 — Default; can be played with custom markings, not just lines.
