Sep 15	comment	First modern Naughts and Crosses/Tic Tac Toe? The 1884 game of "trying with the eyes shut to bring the pencil down on one of the numbers of a set, the number hit being scored" is quite different to modern tic-tac-toe despite the similarity in name. Again "Three Men's Morris" is also significantly different and seems more similar to how the roman version was described by the wiki article. However from this and that my parents can remember it always having been around we could determine that the date was between 1884 and ≈ 1960.
