Finally, a way to play tic-tac-toe when a partner's not available. It's such a simple concept that you'll wonder why no one ever thought of it before. Here's how it works: each space in the grid has a page number and an X or an O. Fill one in, then turn to the corresponding page and find out what move the book wants to make. Keep on going until the game is done. There's just one way to come out a winner in each game--but it's not easy! Great for travelers, those waiting in line, or a child sick at home.

Best Book Ever

January 3, 2013

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Greatest product I have ever used. I cant read so I have no freaking idea what this book is actually for but it was great for unclogging my drain, ripping into little pieces as cat litter and hamster cage liner, scribing down satanic images for my rituals and even rolling into a tube out of the book and using as a male masturbater. I also had good luck using it as toilet paper, it caused minimal smearage and was decently absorbent, good for an emergency(I always keep a copy in each of my bathrooms just in case). In conclusion I would defiantly recommend this book to anyone who needs a good all purpose book.

So fantastic

Format: Paperback

Sometimes, I'm by myself and need a good book to play. I find this book to be both challenging and entertaining, and have a running record of 34-178 in it.

Much better than a crossword or even a CHOOSE YOUR OWN ENDING book

January 2, 2013

Format: Paperback

I picked this book up as a stocking stuffer for my mom who never likes anything I get her. She pulled it out of her stocking and the look on her face was worth the $2.40 plus shipping I paid for it. She said "I didn't even ask for this how did you know it was my Christmas wish?" I just beamed and shrugged my shoulders "I guess after 24 years of disappointing you, my heart led me in the right direction this year." She stood up and hugged me. A solid but gentle hug. A hug that made me feel like I was a planned pregnancy.

Thank you Michael Birken for making this Christmas the best Christmas I could have asked for.

Full of piety

January 3, 2013

Format: Paperback

Upon receiving this book as a holiday gift, I opened it up, wondering secretly to myself whether the gift giver had given up all hope of me settling down with a fancy woman, like you see in the movies. But now, I see the true gesture behind this gift. The books starts simply enough, a self-imposed dictum of the thousands-years-old game of Tic-Tac-Toe, but propels you into the deepest reaches of philosophy, including but not limited to solopsism, Kantist and Hegelist forms of Existentialism, and Nietzscheism. The forms of Mathematics I was exposed to branched out into topologic n-spheres, the Banuch-Tarski paradox and various facets of non-deterministic polynomial-time (NP) problems. There is not much this book cannot tell you about the abstract realms of the human mind.

In short, I came out a richer person. But my journey isn't over yet and I'm sure I will keep dipping back into Solitaire Tic-Tac-Toe when I need to explore a subject area in more detail, as the book gives back as much as you put in.

Hard but fun overall

January 2, 2013

Format: Paperback

This book is pretty hard. I really like puzzle games and such, but this is actually challenging. I actually got it for my girlfriend who also loves mind games for christmas. I'd recommend it for an intermediate Solitaire/Tic tac toe enthusiast.

This book makes my butt cheeks tingle

January 2, 2013

Format: Paperback

I recall the day I first skimmed through the pages of this book. My skin glistened with sweat drops slowly sliding down my face. "This is it" I muttered, eyes drooping. I was a tired man, a man who had lost his sense of purpose. But as my meaty fingers wrapped themselves around "Solitaire Tic-Tac-Toe" I realized something was about to change.

Needless to say I am now a married man with a family. I am an esteemed scholar in every field and I am subscribed to R/Atheism. I lift and have sex anytime I'm not collecting royalty checks from the several films I've starred in. 10/10 would buy again.
