Description

The ancient game of Picaria from the Zuni pueblo nation in New Mexico. It is similar to Tic-Tac-Toe, but each player has only 3 pieces. If there are no winners by the time all the pieces have been placed on the board, players take turns moving their pieces a single space in any direction until one of them achieves a 3-in-a-row.

How To Play
----------------
The game is played on a 3x3 board. The goal is to achieve a 3-in-a-row -- horizontally, vertically, or diagonally -- while blocking your opponent from doing the same.

You start with three pieces off the board. Players take turns placing pieces in any open space on the board attempting to achieve a 3-in-a-row. If neither player achieves 3-in-a-row during the drop phase, the players take turns moving one of their pieces along any line on the board until one of them achieves a 3-in-a-row.

The game is declared a draw after 50 moves.

In single player mode, the difficulty level will automatically increase or decrease as you win or lose. You can also manually adjust the difficulty level and then lock it into place to prevent it from automatically adjusting.
