Description
A kind of tic-tac-toe, but in triplicate. You try to fill three boxes next to each other with pins. Where you can place those pins determines a die. Certain combinations on that die give you some other options. No game with danger of addiction, because happiness is dominant.
The Dutch rules are on the inside of the lid.
In Super 3 you must try to fill three squares next to each other to win the game. Happiness and insight can keep the opponent from the final victory. Everyone knows it and everyone will want to play it again and again.
Roll the dice. Ten! Occupy a random hole 10.
Lucky number 7! occupy a hole in the middle. Three next to each other and the box is yours!
Take a good look. Three squares next to each other and you have won the game.

Tic-tac-toe (American English), noughts and crosses (British English), or Xs and Os is a paper-and-pencil game for two players, X and O, who take turns marking the spaces in a 3×3 grid. The player who succeeds in placing three of their marks in a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal row is the winner.
Players soon discover that the best play from both parties leads to a draw. Hence, tic-tac-toe is most often played by young children, who often have not yet discovered the optimal strategy.
Games played on three-in-a-row boards can be traced back to ancient Egypt, where such game boards have been found on roofing tiles dating from around 1300 BCE.
An early variation of tic-tac-toe was played in the Roman Empire, around the first century BC. It was called terni lapilli (three pebbles at a time) and instead of having any number of pieces, each player only had three, thus they had to move them around to empty spaces to keep playing. The game's grid markings have been found chalked all over Rome. Another closely related ancient game is three men's morris which is also played on a simple grid and requires three pieces in a row to finish,[8] and Picaria, a game of the Puebloans.
