Tic Stack Toe might be one of the top toys for 2013. The game was shown for the first time at the International Toy Fair at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center. As you can guess from the name alone, it is based on Tic Tac Toe.

We have all played Tic Tac Toe. The game has been around for thousands of years. While the game is fun, there is not a whole lot of strategy to the game. Now the classic game of Tic Tac Toe is being reinvented for a new generation as Tick Stack Toe. Now Tick Tack Toe is a stackable board game that involves chess like strategy.  It’s the way that Tick Tack Toe was meant to be played. The game literally adds another dimension to the game. The new game plays out just like the version that we have all grown to love. People who have played the original game will easily be able to pick up and play the new game. Now players have to stack their X's and O's upwards. It’s like a construction toy.  Read more in this article: Top Toys 2013 –New Building Sets From KNEX. The company is hoping that it will be one of the best toys of 2013.

One of the problems with the original game is that there were very little options. With Tick Stack Toe, players can choose different configurations for the board game to add more complexity. The board is expandable which adds more game play options. There is a 3 X 3 grid, a 4 X 4 grid, all the way up to a 5 X 5 grid. The game encourages people to use their spatial skills to think one step ahead of their opponent. When it is released later this year, the game is going to be one of the hot toys in 2013 for strategy gamers.

The creator said he got the idea when his daughter was stacking blocks in his living room. He decided to introduce the game to his office. The game was played by everyone in the office. The team realized that the game captured all of the strategy of the original but added an extra layer of depth in the third dimension.

Although there is board game, the team wanted to reach even more players. It seems all kids nowadays are playing with smart devices. Tic Stack Toe will be available in digital form as an app. The game captures all of the fun of the original game but adds several immersive worlds. One of the coolest new features is that the app adds the ability to compete with your friends on Facebook.

If you have played Tic Tack Toe, the new game is just as easy to pick up and play. You will begin to understand the new game right away without slogging through pages and pages of rule after rule. The game is expected to be one of the top toys of Christmas 2013 when it hits stores later this year.

The company is planning a line of products with the Tick Stack Toe theme. There is going to be a muti colored set which is perfect for kids.  There is a travel version to take on the road.

Do you think Tic Tack Toe will be one of the top toys for 2013?
