A misère game or bettel game is a game that is played according to its conventional rules, except that it is “played to lose”; that is, the winner is the one who loses according to the normal game rules.

Tic-tac-toe Collection supports misère gameplay along with all other game modes.

In multiplayer game modes that also have a target score, reaching the score eliminates the player, other players continue.

In game modes with an unlimited target score, the winner is the player with the lowest score and other players rank in ascending score order.
