Snouts & Tails is our variation of Tic Tac Toe. Here are the rules:

-	You use Snouts and Tails instead of X's and O's.
-	You try to get as many "3-in-a-rows" as you can in one game.
-	During the second turn for each player they are not allowed to put a Snout or Tail on the board that touches the square where they placed their first Snout or Tail. (See Unacceptable Game below for an example.)
-	After the second turn each player can place their Snout or Tail wherever they want.
-	If you place a Snout or Tail in a square and it makes "3-in-a-row" in more than one direction, you get one point for each "3-in-a-row" you make.  See Acceptable Game below for an example.
-	The winner is the one with the most points. What if we have a tie?

Those are all the rules.  Samples of an acceptable and unacceptable game are demonstrated below .  HAPPY OINKING!!!

Determining who wins when the score is tied is simple. Just count the number of Snouts, then the number of Tails, that are unused for any "3-in-a-row". The player with the fewer number of unused plays is the winner. So in the game shown to the right, Snouts had 2 unused squares and Tails had 3 unused squares.			(Game ends in a tie)
(2 unused Snouts)		(3 unused Tails)
Therefore, Snouts WIN!!!! OK, but what if we're still tied after that?     Then it's a tie.....play another game!!!
