Tic Tac Toe is trivial, but Tic Tac Stein is perhaps not so trivial!
+-------+-------+-------+-------+
| | | | | Tic Tac Stein is the same game
| | | | | as Tic Tac Toe, but using the
| | | | | 4 x 4 board on the left.
+-------+-------+-------+-------+
| | | | | The stones used in this game are:
| | | | |
| | | | | .oo _==_
+-------+-------+-------+-------+ ( -) and ( ">
| | | | | " "
| | | | | |
| | | | | begins first.
+-------+-------+-------+-------+
| | | | | You win, if you line up 3 stones
| | | | | horizontally, or vertically, or
| | | | | diagonally!

In the example below ( -) wins, since ( "> neglected to block.

If I have more time, I will put this game on my website and you can play
on-line against a computerized version of Tic Tac Stein!
(Is there perhaps an on-line version already in existence, albeit without
using the 'steins as the playing stones?)
