Pounce: tile jump strategy

Line up your tiles, or pounce over an opponent's tile to capture it. Play the AI, a friend on one device, or anyone online.

Pounce is a board game for two players. It combines elements of Xs and Os (tic tac toe) and Checkers.

Line up your tiles to win, or pounce over your opponent's piece to capture it. Each player has one to three pounces a game, so spend yours wisely!

Win by lining up four tiles on the 5×5 board, or six on the 7×7; across, down, or diagonally. You can leave a game at any time and resume it later.
