Naughts and Crosses
A diagram is drawn on a slate, paper, or the ground, and consists of two vertical lines, crossed by two horizontal lines. One player chooses to write "naughts" (o) and the other "crosses" (x). The players take turns in marking a naught or a cross in one of the nine places provided by the diagram, the object being to get three naughts or three crosses in a row. This row may be either vertical, horizontal, or diagonal.
A score is kept of the games won by each player, and a third score is kept of the games played in which neither player wins.
This game may be played at the seashore, on the playground, or wherever the diagram may be traced on the earth.
