One page, a stack of games. The grids are drawn the way everyone draws them by hand, as two crossed pairs of lines rather than a boxed-in table, with heavy strokes that leave plenty of room inside each cell for a large X or O. Six grids a page gives squares about two and a half inches across, comfortable for small children; twelve grids a page is the version to print for a car journey or a restaurant table.

Each grid is numbered, so a pair of players can keep track of which game they are on and argue about game four afterwards. Along the top of the sheet there is a tally line for X wins, O wins and draws, which turns a handful of two-minute games into a proper match with a result at the end rather than a pile of finished grids nobody counted. Fill the three lines in as you go and the sheet settles the question itself.

The sheet is deliberately plain: no colour to use up ink, no clip art, nothing that needs explaining. It prints the same on a laser printer, an inkjet or a photocopier, and because it is a vector file the lines stay sharp if you enlarge it onto A3 for a classroom wall. There is nothing to type into; this is a page for a pen.

How to use it

  1. 1

    Choose six or twelve grids

    Six large grids for young children, twelve for travel games and quick matches.

  2. 2

    Print it and play

    Print at 100% ("Actual size") so the grid keeps its proportions. This sheet has no form fields: it is made to be played with a pen or pencil.

  3. 3

    Keep score at the top

    Fill in the X wins, O wins and draws lines as you go, and the sheet becomes a match rather than a pile of games.

Six large grids or twelve smaller ones, numbered so you can tell them apart.

About two and a half inches across on the six-grid sheet and about one and three quarter inches on the twelve-grid sheet, printed at 100% on US Letter.
US Letter if you print in North America, A4 almost everywhere else. The layout is rebuilt for each size, so the sheet fills the page either way instead of leaving a white band down one edge.
Running totals for X wins, O wins and draws, so a sheet of six or twelve games ends with a winner rather than a shrug.
