An improved tic tac toe game is herein disclosed. The game pieces include X-pieces or O-pieces that are coupled to hollow cylinder pieces, resulting in large pieces that are shaped and sized to easily grip and operate. In use, these game pieces are placed over pegs the project upwardly from a game board base to play tic tac toe.

The game consists of a planar game board (10), a series of vertically extended pegs (18) along a track, and magnetic game pieces (20) that freely slide down pegs (18). Each player selects a plurality of game pieces (20) of one color to differentiate from other players' game pieces (20). The object of the game is to be the first player to move all of his game pieces (20) from start (14) to finish (16). Players, in turn, roll dice, a chance device, and move game pieces (20) as indicated. Players' magnetic game pieces (20) interact in exciting and unexpected ways. A game piece (20) landing on a peg (18) above another game piece (20) will either attract and capture, or repel and levitate, depending on their relative magnetic orientations, another element of chance. When a game piece lands on particular pegs (18) or tiles (12), the player draws a random card, another element of chance, which directs surprise moves such as forward, backward or flipping.
