Embark on a journey to explore the origins of this beloved game:

• Games played on three-in-a-row boards date back to ancient Egypt, with game boards discovered on roofing tiles from around 1300 BCE.
• The British name "noughts and crosses" first appeared in print in 1858.
• The term "tick-tack-toe" was printed for the first time in 1884, referring to a children's game played on a slate.
• The US adoption of "tic-tac-toe" in place of "noughts and crosses" took place in the 20th century.
• In 1952, OXO (or Noughts and Crosses), created by British computer scientist Sandy Douglas for the EDSAC computer at the University of Cambridge, became one of the earliest-known video games. The computer player could achieve perfect games of tic-tac-toe against human opponents.
