I vaguely remembered that there were some three-in-a-row games that weren't tic-tac-toe, but I couldn't remember what any of them were called, so internet searching yielded nothing. Then I thought to try my local library catalog, and it found Claudia Zaslavsky's Tic Tac Toe book. It was aimed at kids, but Ms Zaslavsky didn't skimp on the research; there were three-in-a-row games from around the world. UWaterloo has good information about several of these games, but I never would have found their page if I wasn't looking for names of games that I learned from this book.
