    Design Your Own Tic-Tac-Toe Variation!

    Want to challenge yourself, but need some ideas?  Complete the tasks below to fill in the squares.  Yes, I know.  There are more tasks than squares!  That's where you come in.  You can decide how best to spend your time.  Also, you must fill all squares, unlike traditional tic-tac-toe.  But you've got plenty of time :)
