Summary
A game of Tic Tac Toe (Noughts and Crosses) made from wood with original box (2007). The square board is made from plain wood, into which nine hollows have been made to accommodate the playing pieces. These consist of five Os painted black and four Xs painted red. The box is made from a single sheet of colour-printed glossy cardboard and features photographs of the game on a dark green background and the name in silver-coloured ink. A logo for 'Pintoy' appears in several places on the box - a red 'p' with a smiling clown's head in the centre (wearing a multicoloured, stripy, conical hat). Total number of items is 11.
