Note: Can one mark be counted in more than one three-in-a-row sequence? Decide ahead of time, yea or nay. Sequences can be vertically, horizontally, or diagonally. Winning: Count the number of three-in-a-rows each player has. ( Each player has 12 turns for a total of 24 squares.) Rules: Players take turns placing an X or an O in one of the squares until all the squares except one are filled.
