How to play Row Call
Three in a row on a four by four grid, with a twist: you call out a row or column, and your rival decides where in it your mark goes.
What you need
- A pencil or pen
- A sheet of paper
- Two players
How to set up
Draw a 4 by 4 grid with rows numbered and columns lettered. One player is X, the other O. X goes first.
1. Draw a square divided into 4 by 4 small squares.
2. Number the rows 1 to 4 down the side and letter the columns A to D along the top.
3. Call a row or column; your rival writes your mark in it, wherever they like.
How to play
- Call out a row or a column that still has an empty square.
- Your rival chooses an empty square in it and writes your mark there.
- Then swap roles.
How to win
Be the first with three of your marks in a row, across or down. Three in a row across or down wins. A full grid with no line is a draw.
Tip Call a line with only one empty square when that square wins for you.
