Tic-Tac-Toe or Xs and 0s was one of the most popular board games of the 1980’s and 1990’s, loved by most. Much before smartphones came into picture, Tic-Tac-Toes have been a part of the last pages of school books with children and adults engaging in the game as one of their favourite passtime.
Now, Mumbai Police’s latest post on Instagram has got people reminiscing the popular childhood board game. In the post, the police department explains the rules of social distancing through a meme that reads, "If we had to show rules of social distancing with Tic-Tac-Toe".

The meme shows two two teams - a person walking and police vehicle placed in a Tic-Tac-Toe game format. A line passes through the three police vehicles indicating the winner just like the popular game in which the player who succeeds in placing three of their marks in a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal row is the winner.
