Tic Tac K.O. is a quick-to-learn card game that puts a diabolical twist on Tic Tac Toe, letting you smack your opponents to the side as you claim squares in your quest for victory. These adorably ruthless Dragons and Unicorns won't hesitate to destroy their opponents with fire, lightning, or a swift kick in the patoot. In Tic Tac K.O., two teams battle for control of the Grid by playing Character and Magic cards featuring diabolical Dragons and unforgiving Unicorns. Players lay down cards one at a time on the tic-tac-toe grid to match the pattern on their Objective Cards. The first team to complete 3 Objectives wins the game! Pre-orders before 9/8/2021 received an exclusive holographic Team Unicorn card.
