## Description
If you enjoy mental challenges that require you to think in three directions at once, get your brain ready for 3AIO (3 Abstracts In One). This is a print-and-play abstract strategy game that brings a very different proposition from anything you've seen before. Instead of a single board, you will deal with three simultaneous boards: one triangular, one rectangular, and one hexagonal. Each of them has exactly 91 cells, and the real twist is that they all share the same color logic. 

The gameplay is highly dynamic: on each turn, you must place one stone on each of the three boards. But here is the catch: all three stones you place must be on spaces of the same color. This creates a constant strategic dilemma. Know that perfect move to win the triangular board? It might force you to play a color that puts you in a terrible situation on the hexagonal board. You will have to balance your priorities constantly, as the ultimate goal is to win at least two out of the three boards to secure total victory. 

Each board has its own win condition, making the experience incredibly rich. Board 'A' is a connection game, where you need to create a continuous chain of stones linking all three sides. Board 'I' focuses on area majority, where the goal is to control the majority of the rows. Finally, board 'O' is a group-based contest, where whoever has the largest cluster of stones wins. It is a game of pure risk management and prioritization, perfect for those who love fast-paced board games that require a bit of deep strategic thinking!
