About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for a quick and charming duel with XOXO in a Row, a fun twist on Tic-Tac-Toe that also draws inspiration from '4 in a Row'. Designed for two players aged 8 and up, this little promotional game is a taste of HABA's Ludomatic Universe, perfect for those who enjoy a straightforward strategic challenge. The concept is simple: you and your opponent choose to be X or O, pop out the tokens, and take turns placing your symbols on a square grid. The goal? Be the first to form the XOXO sequence, whether horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, and the best part: it counts forwards and backward! It's one of those games you can pick up, play in about 10 minutes, and immediately want a rematch. Ideal for carrying in your bag or for introducing the XOXO concept to friends. The tokens are easy to punch out, and the game is super intuitive, ensuring immediate fun. If you enjoy abstract games with a touch of luck and plenty of quick strategy, XOXO in a Row is a sure bet to warm up your gaming engines before a bigger game or to fill that free time with a fierce contest. It's proof that small games can have a big impact on fun!
