This commentary reviews the study "Quantum Tic-Tac-Toe: A Teaching Tool for Quantum Mechanics and Quantum Computing," which presents a game-based method for teaching complex quantum concepts. The authors have transformed TicTac-Toe into a quantum version, incorporating fundamental quantum gates and allowing competitive play against an artificial adversary. The study's unique approach of linking the game directly to quantum gates and circuits provides a practical and engaging learning environment, particularly for high school students
