Game Play
Gameplay takes place on a 3x3 board; players take turns placing their pieces on the board, with the goal of aligning three of one player's pieces vertically, horizontally, or diagonally. However, when four of a player's pieces are placed on the board, the piece that was first placed is removed from the board.[1] While Lite 3 is an electronic game, it can be replicated with paper and pencil.[2]
