Exercise your brain while trying to defeat your
computer in this entertaining strategy game.
TicTacTotal has been a popular mental challenge for
more than a decade. With version 1 lost to the
Macintosh archives, here's version 2 for a new generation.

Playing the game is easy. As in Tic-Tac-Toe, players
claim squares with an 'X' or an 'O'. However, the board
is larger and getting 3-in-a-row doesn't win. Each
square has a random point value. Claiming 3 consecutive
squares adds to your total score. Once all 25 squares
are taken, the high score wins. Figuring out which
square to pick is the challenge. You need to figure out
which square will give the most points and when to
block your opponent.

Specify the computer's skill level or play against a
friend. Select the range of the point values (positive,
positive and negative). Finally, don't click away from
the word "Total". We can all benefit from honing our
mental math skills and it really does become effortless.
