Tic-Tac-Toe with trivia questions.
One player plays "X" and the other player plays "O". Each space on the gameboard is assigned a category. In turn, a player wins the space by answering a trivia question in the category chosen correctly. Each correct answer adds money to the jackpot. The first player to get three of one's own symbols in a row wins the jackpot. Stalemates are common, however, and the jackpot keeps building until a winner is declared.
The player with the most money after an agreed to number of games is the winner.
Transogram also released a Junior Edition for pre-teens. Following the scandal concerning rigged quiz shows, which cast a pall over the television industry, Transogram rebranded the
Tic-Tac-Dough games as
3-In-a-Row Home Quiz.
The Ideal version, released in 1978, added a solitaire game for the first to get three-in-a-row. A player chooses from nine random cards one at a time. A player wins additional money by accumulating $1000 in cash or getting the "Tic" and "Tac" cards. A player loses if the Dragon card is chosen before the victory condition is met.
The games are faithful to the television series upon they are based.
