You are familiar with Tic-Tac-Toe, because everyone is, for better or worse, so imagine three Tic Tac Toe grids layered on top of each other. Or maybe don't imagine it, just look it at this picture. Also imagine the middle square of the middle grid doesn't exist. Or is blotted out. Or whatever being filled in means to you.
That was easy! No imagination required!
The players are X's and O's, taking turns in order as in regular Tic Tac Toe.
So with almost three times the real estate to compete over the game will already take longer! Huzzah!
But will it end in a tie, without the next rule it probably would. So here is the caveat.
Disregarding the first move of the first player, where you place your marker on your chosen grid determines which grid your opponent must play on, as shown by this handy example.
Playing upon the top row of any of the three grids forces your opponent to play on the top grid, playing on the middle row of any grid forces them to play on the middle grid, and playing on the bottom row of any grid forces them to play on the bottom grid.
The win conditions are still three in a row, you can win as if it was a classic grid, like so:
So there you have it. O-X Layers. Utilize an pen and paper to try it yourself, who knows you might just win, or maybe even enjoy it, the game is your oyster! But not the world, I don't have that sort of pull just yet. This game is totally within my purview though, so enjoy!

But you can now also win by connecting a three dimensional three in a row as well, as shown in these two examples:
Like so
