Tic-Attack-Toe

In Tic-Attack-Toe, players try to get three-in-a-row before their opponent by playing with numbered X and O cards. Each player gets a deck of 25 cards, containing two sets of number cards running from 1 to 12, plus a wild card. (Each player plays with a different set, so the total number of cards in the box is 50.) At the beginning of the game, each player is dealt a hand of six cards. Each player now takes turns, playing one card on the 3x3 grid on the table and replenishing back to six. The crucial thing is that you can play your card on top of your opponent's card on the grid as long as the number on your card is higher than the existing number in the grid. The Wild card counts as the highest number when you play, but the lowest when it is already on the table. Whenever you make a three in a row with your played cards, you score 1. Anyone who scores 5 first wins.
