Chung Toi (1994)

Chung Toi is most simply described as tic-tac-toe with movement. The game is played on a 3x3 grid. However, each player only gets three octagonal tokens. The tokens have arrows pointing in four directions. First, the players alternate placing their tokens on the board, orienting them so that the arrows are either pointing horizontally and vertically or diagonally. After the initial placement, turns are spent moving one piece. A piece may move zero to two spaces in any direction indicated by the arrows, including jumps. Additionally, the piece may also rotate when moving. The first one to get their three tokens in a row wins.
