Overview
nestoe is a two-player game played on a 3×3 grid. Each player has five pieces of different sizes. You win by getting three of your pieces in a row (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally). The twist: a larger piece can overtake a smaller piece on any cell.
Piece sizes
Each player has exactly one piece of each size:
| Size | Rank | Can overtake |
|---|
| XS (extra small) | 1 | — |
| S (small) | 2 | XS |
| M (medium) | 3 | XS, S |
| L (large) | 4 | XS, S, M |
| XL (extra large) | 5 | XS, S, M, L |
Larger beats smaller. If you play a larger piece on a cell that already has your opponent's smaller piece, your piece takes the cell.
How to play
- Turns — You and the robot take turns. On your turn, place one of your remaining pieces on an empty cell or on a cell with the robot's smaller piece.
- Placing a piece — Choose a size (XS, S, M, L, XL). Each size is used once per game. Click a piece then a cell, or drag the piece onto a cell.
- Winning — The first to get three pieces in a row (row, column, or diagonal) wins.
Quick reference
- Board: 3×3 grid
- Pieces per player: 5 (XS, S, M, L, XL), one of each
- Rule: Bigger piece overtakes smaller piece on a cell

Tips
- Use XL and L to overtake key cells or block the robot.
- Plan which size to use where; once played, you cannot use it again.
