Thank you, Rich.

I started out with a naughts and crosses/tic-tac-toe grid and then I numbered the squares of the grid 1a/1b/1c; 2a /2b/2c; 3a/3b/3c and tried to make a game just using the numbers and then when I'd worked that out, I replaced 1, 2 and 3 with Tom, Dick and Harry and a), b) and c) with Smith, Jones and Brown. Unfortunately my game doesn't have an equivalent to the diagonal rows in Naughts and Crosses.

Glad you liked it.

Oh look, a link. I wonder where it leads.
