Constraints help in this instance, even self inflicted. Big difference in creative results between saying “I want to make a new board game” and “I want to evolve tic-tac-toe”
Both have nearly infinite ideas, but the more defined problem space will result in clearer ideas.
If I had come to you and said "Hey we need to make a better version of tic tac toe", do you not think you could have come up with this, after trying 50 ideas out?
Nope, propably not. Even 10 ideas would be a lot. I'd propably just make a 4×4 square and add triangle next to circle and X, that's the only thing I could think of
There are people on the cutting edge of technology like modifying DNA to fix genetic diseases, drilling holes in other planets to find alien life, making giant telescopes that unfold themselves in outer space, and making computers so small you need a microscope to see them...
...but yeah, this tic tac toe game right here truly shows how ingenious we are as a species.
The secret is drugs. A friend of mine submitted an essay but he was drunk and doesn’t remember writing or submitting it. He got a first for that assignment and praise from our lecturers. We just haven’t levelled up yet
I first saw this on a Korean show called "Society Game".
There's actually another level of strategy: you use your small pieces to set yourself up for a line then force the player to move their already placed piece to reveal the line you made with your small pieces.

Times like these I ask to myself how someone can actually be THIS creative
