This is a 2 player puzzle like Tick Tack Toe. This is a strategy game the object is to force the other player to make the last move. The person to make the LAST move looses.

RULES. It makes no difference which player starts first. The object is to cross off lines in any row you like but only 1 row when it is your turn. You can start on row 3 or 1 or 2 it is up to you. You can cross off 1 line or all the lines or any number of lines in that row with 1 straight line. Do not pick up your pencil to cross off more than 1 line. Player 2 is not required to cross off lines in the same row he can cross out lines in any row he likes. One by one lines and rows will be eliminated until there is only 1 line left to cross out.

Once you learn the pattern, the player who starts always loses. Just keep giving an odd number of choices to the end game.
