The name of the Game
Is Phi-tac-toe. Not a very creative name, I know. But the game is cool. It popped into my head randomly. It's a variation of tic-tac-toe, using the beautiful spiral.
Four across
You can pretty much figure out how the game goes. Player 1 places their piece in any compartment.You win when you get 4 or 3 in a row. (Or 5, or 2. It depends how spiraly a spiral you draw.) I used Xs here, to make the game familiar seeming. But it is encouraged that you use your own personal symbol.
Three in a row
Here is someone winning with 3 across. This would make for interesting graffiti should you play the game on a wall or table. People will think the aliens are playing tic-tac-toe. "First crop circles.... Now THIS!" P.S. For fair gameplay, take turns drawing the spiral. Some may want more spaces, some less.

This would be a game played better with larger spirals making more spaces to move, correct?
That's what you meant by "how spiraly a spiral you draw", right?
Exactly.
I'll edit it. I added a new rule.
Elaboration:
When explaining the game, you draw the spiral, but let the other player go first.
When that game is over, your opponent draws the spiral and you go first.
Best 2 out of 3 wins.
Darkaardvark:
Sure. Though as will normal tic-tac-toe it really just depends how clever your opponent is.
This version of tic-tac-toe is cooler looking and a little more complex.
More spaces to watch, you know.
Until you get good at it, it's pretty much a level playing field for anybody.
My little sister beat me.
And I created the game!
I ´ll vote if you elaborate enough on the "you take turns drawing the spiral". I think I´ll get it then.
Hey, writing instructions for games is hard.
Is there any possible way to prevent the person who plays first from winning?
