I always wondered what this game was called in other languages. knots and crosses makes way more sense than ''Butter, cheese and eggs''. I haven't played this game in years but I don't think I ever had a preference for either of the two.
"tic tac toe" here where i live we literally call it XO lol. and yes i always go for X cause i have that one trick where you have two ways to win idk i cant explain it
