Tic-tac-toe with a soldering iron. Team Red sparks against Team Blue nodes — line up three on the board to complete the circuit. Take on Bench Bot, or pass the phone to a friend.
Standard tic-tac-toe rules, just wired up to look like a board. Red always has first spark on game one, then it alternates.
Tap any empty square to drop your team's mark. Red plays a spark, Blue plays a node. Turns alternate until someone lines up three.
Three marks in a row, column, or diagonal lights up the connecting trace and ends the game in that team's favour.
Nine squares filled with no run of three is a draw — happens a lot once you're both playing well. No penalty either way.
Three levels. Rookie makes real mistakes, Tech plays solidly but slips occasionally, and Bench Boss plays perfectly — the best you can do against it is a draw.
Record saved locallySwitch modes and pass the device — the turn pill and banner between rounds tell you whose spark it is.
Set who opens each new game: always Red, always Blue, or let it alternate automatically so nobody's stuck going second all night.
If your actual PC starts throwing sparks that aren't part of a game, that's what I'm here for.
