Tic-Tac-Two

Tic-tac-toe is mathematically perfect — and perfectly boring. Two skilled players will always end in a draw. The optimal strategy is well-known, and once you master it, the game loses its excitement. As a developer, this got me thinking: what if we could preserve the simplicity and accessibility of tic-tac-toe while introducing genuine strategic depth? What happens when you limit players to just 3 moves on the board? Turns out, everything changes.
