Using the playing area
Click or tap a piece and destination; use the turn indicator and legal-move feedback. On a smaller screen, keep the active part of the board within view. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.
Work through an example
A top-right cell sends the next player to the top-right mini-board. Focus on why the action is allowed, not only its outcome. Take a moment to compare.

A single local win does not finish the overall game. Compare the situation with the worked example. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
