You could compare this to playing darts blindfolded! Although that probably isn’t recommended…!
Tic tac toe also used to be played in another format, where people would shut their eyes, throw a pencil at a number marked on the grid, and total up their scores. The game has even been found on roofing tiles! If you are lucky enough to ever visit Rome, there are lots of tic tac toe sketches around to be found, as it was played so regularly. Instead of being able to write a shape, such as an ‘X’, or an ‘O’, it was played by only having three pebbles and having to move them around the board continually to make ‘three in a row’. This translates to ‘three pebbles at a time’.
Did you know that the origins of ‘tic tac toe’ can be traced all of the way back to the times of ancient Egypt? That’s right! The original name for tic tac toe is actually ‘terni lapilli’.
