About CircleTactics - Neo 4 in a Row
CircleTactics is a strategic board game that boldly evolves the classic tic-tac-toe (Noughts and Crosses) into a deep, multi-layered experience for up to 4 players.
Forget everything you know about simple 3-in-a-row games. CircleTactics introduces a 4×4 board, 3 piece sizes, and 2 simultaneous win conditions — creating a game where every move demands careful thought and long-term planning.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
■ GAME MODES
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
● Local Play
Up to 4 players can compete on the same device. Freely assign each seat to a human player or AI. Perfect for playing with friends and family anytime, anywhere — no internet required.
● Online Play
Challenge players remotely using a simple 6-digit room code. Create a room and share the code, or enter a code to join an existing room instantly. Real-time multiplayer with no account or login needed.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
■ HOW TO PLAY
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Each player holds 4 pieces of each size — Small, Medium, and Large (12 pieces total). Players take turns placing one piece per turn onto the 4×4 board.
Here's the twist: multiple players' pieces of different sizes can occupy the same cell at the same time. This means the board is a layered battlefield where every cell is contested on multiple levels.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
■ TWO WIN CONDITIONS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
● Cell Victory
Stack all 3 sizes (Small, Medium, and Large) of YOUR pieces in a single cell. Dominate one square completely to win.
● Board Victory
Align 4 cells containing your pieces in a row, column, or diagonal across the 4×4 board — just like classic tic-tac-toe, but on a bigger stage.
Both win conditions are active at all times. You must watch your opponent's progress on BOTH fronts while advancing your own strategy. Block one path and they might win on the other.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
■ DEEP STRATEGIC GAMEPLAY
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Since pieces of different players coexist in the same cell, simple territory control is not enough. You need to:
• Pursue Cell Victory while laying the groundwork for Board Victory
• Block opponents from completing their stacks while extending your own lines
• Decide when to attack and when to defend across multiple cells simultaneously
• Manage your limited supply of 12 pieces carefully — every piece counts
The 4-player format adds even more complexity. Stopping one opponent may open the door for another. Every turn is a calculated risk.
