Editorial Reviews
Tic Tac Toe by 7 Dragons brings the simple but classic game of Tic Tac Toe to Kindle.
Similar to the pen-and-paper experience from the school days, choose your Xs or Os and try to line up three in a row. "Pass and Play" allows you to play against a friend, or choose to play against Kindle with three different difficulty levels. Game statistics allow you to keep track of high scores for each difficulty level.
Tic Tac Toe is good entertainment for kids, and a fun way to take a break!

First of all, this is Tic Tac Toe, not ChessMaster Chess. It is a simple game that anyone with a reasonably good IQ will be able to beat or draw every single game, regardless of the difficulty level selected. It is good brain food for the children as they learn the algorithm themselves and reach the level of win/draw every game. I find it an excellent choice for my little daughter as she rides in the car, or just a nice distraction from time to time. It makes her feel good to do battle with a game that she can beat. I recommend this game, but dear me, remember it is Tic Tac Toe, nothing more, nothing less.
When you first load the Tic Tac Toe game, you will get a menu to choose from 3 difficulty levels, as well as two player mode. If you are looking for your statistics, try hitting the menu button on your kindle.
Another option after hitting the menu button is "Help". I almost didn't try this - after all, like the other reviewers have pointed out it *is* tic tac toe, after all. But I'm glad I did. There is a description of the difficulty levels here that I find helpful, and a couple of hints that may be a little less so, if you've ever played tic tac toe before.
Here are the descriptions provided in the application:
Easy Mode: In Easy Mode the Kindle can be beaten. Kindle will play like a human opponent and occasionally make am incorrect move giving you an opening.
Medium Mode: In Medium Mode the Kindle will play well but can be beaten with a bit of strategy. Kindle will play well and make mostly intelligent moves.
Hard Mode: In Hard Mode the Kindle is very difficult to beat. A tie game is almost as good as a win. Since the Kindle is playing almost perfectly it is very good practice. After playing some games in Hard Mode it will be very hard for human players to beat you.
My experience:
Easy Mode: Kindle's plays almost seemed random. No blocking moves, doesn't take openings if I give them.
Medium Mode: Plays do make sense more often, but Kindle may or may not block if you get two in a row. Kindle seems to frequently miss chances to stop your win.
Hard Mode: Here is where the fun comes in. Kindle does seem to have a consistent, good strategy. Kindle does not miss your openings, and does set up double win traps (where you have two different potential wins to block in one turn).
Originally, I was going to give this 5 stars, because of the great hard level. I backed off a star, because it seems like a pretty big gap between medium (not very smart) and hard (close to unbeatable). If medium was just a tad smarter, enough to be a challenge but not overwhelming, it would be perfect.
edit to add: potential bug? when using the menu to change between different levels of difficulty, I had a series of games that should have been hard, that really played out like medium. I left the application, then re-entered it. Now hard level kindle is playing more like expected.

I saw TTT for my Kindle and clicked the option to buy it right away. It is a fun simple game to play. Do not get me wrong...I love chess and reading...But it is nice to have something that does not take a lot of time to play. TTT can make a ten minute period of time fly by when you need it to.
CL has bad grammer (and spelling)
CL, you must play to many HD video games to like «old games» like this (me, I love tic tac toe).
The game is not fun. Its boring stuiped.
I hated it super, much take my advice
and DON'T BUY IT.
