Otherwise known as vertical tic-tac-toe, the goal is to be the first to place your 3 pieces in a single stack or on the top of each of 3 stacks. In turn, players place their pieces, one at a time, in 3 positions: left, centre, right [stack max. 3 pieces high]. When all 6 pieces have been placed, the game continues.
