While a review for a minifig pack like this can be boring, I tried to add some flavors to it to make it more interesting, I hope this works.
But let me answer a few key questions first:
Q. Can the tiles on the Tic Tac Toe plate be removed?
A. Yes, I did it, but the plate of course is glued seems uneasy to be removed, I have not forced the issue for fear of damaging the box, can someone who owns the older Tic Tac Toe sets share some clue? I think I may have made the wrong conclusion earlier (my fault)

Q. Are they regular minifigs?
A. I believe so, see the anatomy of the selected minifigs below

Someone who leads by being the Sample (for anatomy analysis)

Who should I choose from the pirates side? well, believe me, this is a random choice
Q. Is it fun to play with?
A. if you really play Tic Tac Toe with it, it is. But.....
The full cast in close up:

And the packaging is quite smart, you can fold it this way for easy storage:

How about playing a game first?




So far so good, nothing weird yet...

Oops, someone got hot tempered...





Looks like we have a tie as usual, really boring....

But wait....

Someone cheating!!!

Things are getting out of hand!

It is truly sad that peace cannot prevail...

At the end, nobody wins....

What a mess....
Actually all these can be avoided, the conclusion: DO NOT play Tic Tac Toe.
So how can we use this thing?


How about a dance?

Grab a set of Lego Pirates Tic Tac Toe, and have fun in a way - whatever way you can imagine...
