TipTacToe: The 3D Balance Strategy Game

Gravitating toward your future ...

Remember TicTacToe? You loved it when you were five. Then you grew up and it got too easy. But now Gravity decided to play ... the game you thought you knew has just become devilishly difficult. You will out-think your opponent and exploit leverage and torque. TipTacToe is simple to learn, you already know the rules, but to master this game? You will need a steady hand and a willingness to bring gravitational pain to your opponent. You will bait players with what looks like easy wins, they will rush forward, unable to see the trap you've laid until their own move triggers a total gravitational collapse. Sucks to be them!

This is the ground floor. This is your chance to get a six month head start on your friends and frenemies. Your brain will rewire itself with this game. You will see subtle tremors in the game board that even a butterfly might not notice. You will look into the future and plot your path in a way that can make Isaac Newton himself hold his head in shame.

TipTacToe is a U.S. Patent Pending game that blends the delicate touch of Jenga and the deep strategy of speed chess. It was invented by a scientist with a Ph.D. in applied physics, and built to start easy, and then get harder, and harder ... and yes, even harder. TipTacToe allows you to swap out the balance point from beginner to psychopath. Mother Nature herself might look at your game and say "wtf?"

How It Works

1. Choose Your Base: Select your tilt stand based on desired difficulty 
2. Place Your Pieces: Take turns placing pieces onto the grid. The very center square is permanent wildcard, so either or both players can capture the center grid.
3. Leverage is strategy: Weight distribution is key. You will win many games when you trap novice players with too-good-to-true positions. And they'll take the bait. And then you'll win.
4. Adapt to Any Gameplay: Swap between single-board play, multi-grid stacked matches, coin games, or party modes using M&Ms, Skittles, or gems.

What’s in the Box?

1. Modular 3D-Printed Game Grids: Translucent, precision-engineered grids designed for durability and clean tactile balance.
2. Adjustable Tilt Stand Array: Two or six interchangeable pivot bases that alter the game's stability threshold.
3. Playing Component Kit: Glass playing gems, coin play accessories, and a drawstring pouch for rapid setup and cleanup.

Designed & Built in Colorado

TipTacToe wasn't created in an overseas assembly line, it was prototyped, tested, and manufactured in Golden, Colorado with high-precision to balance impeccably and give you years of fun. And as long-time backers of our projects know, every Kickstarter directly helps back our R&D in air pollution physics and clean energy initiatives under ClearJet. And the games are crafted right here in Colorado using sustainable bio-plastics.
