Corsicrown [Gomme I 80] seems to be a version of Three Men's Morris, but using seven of the nine cells, omitting two opposite side cells. Gomme quotes from J. Mactaggart; The Scottish Gallovidian Encyclopedia; (1871 or possibly 1824?): "each has three men .... there are seven points for these men to move about on, six on the edges of the square and one at the centre."

Tic tac toe. The earliest clearly described versions are given in Babbage (with no name given), c1820, and Gomme I 311, under Kit cat cannio, where she quotes from: Edward Moor; Suffolk Words and Phrases; 1823 (This word does not occur in the OED). Gomme also gives entries for Noughts and Crosses [I 420 421] and Tip tap toe [II 295 296] with variants Tick tack toe and Tit tat toe. In 1842-1865, Babbage uses Tit Tat To and slight variants. Under Tip tap toe, Gomme says the players make squares and crosses and that a tie game is a score for Old Nick or Old Tom. (When I was young, we called it Cat's Game, and this is an old Scottish term [James T. R. Ritchie; The Singing Street Scottish Children's Games, Rhymes and Sayings; (O&B, 1964); Mercat Press, Edinburgh, 2000, p. 61].) She quotes regional glossaries for Tip tap toe (1877), Tit tat toe (1866 & 1888), Tick tack toe (1892). The OED entry for Oughts and Crosses seems to be this game and gives an 1861 quote. Von der Lasa cites a 1838-39 Swedish book for Tripp, Trapp, Trull. Van der Linde (1874, op. cit. in 5.F.1) gives Tik, Tak, Tol as the Dutch name.
