Group Actions on Winning Games of Super Tic-Tac-Toe
Abstract
Consider a $n \times n$ tic-tac-toe board. In each field of the board, draw a smaller $n\times n$ tic-tac-toe board. Now let super tic-tac-toe (STTT) be a game where each player's move dictates which field on the larger board a player must make their next move. We will play an impartial game of STTT where each player uses X. We define a set of actions on a game board which gives rise to a group-action on the game that creates equivalent games. We will discuss how the structure of this group-action forms a Dihedral group.
