Noughts and crosses has outlasted nearly every other paper game, and this version puts it on a tall, phone-friendly screen. Two players take turns marking squares, and the first to line up the required number of symbols along a row, column or diagonal wins.
The rules are simple enough to explain in a sentence, which is why it works so well when you hand a device to a friend. Every move is one click or tap, so rounds fly by. You can even stretch a rivalry over a whole afternoon, trading wins and rematches while trying to spot the trap your opponent is setting.
