Like tic-tac-toe, but after placing 3 pieces each, you move them. Adds sliding strategy.

**Setup:** Draw a 3x3 grid. Each player has 3 pieces.

**Phase 1 - Placement:**

Take turns placing one piece on any empty intersection.

**Phase 2 - Movement:**

After all 6 pieces are placed, take turns sliding one piece to an adjacent empty spot.

**Winning:** Get 3 in a row (like tic-tac-toe).

**Key Difference from Tic-Tac-Toe:** No draws! Once placed, pieces move, so game continues until someone wins.
