  A positional game is a game where two players sequentially label vertices of
a hypergraph, consisting of a board and a collection of winning sets, with
colors assigned to each player until all vertices of the board are claimed. The
first player to claim all elements of a winning set wins. If no player claims
all the elements of a winning set, then the game results in a draw. One such
example of a positional game is Tic-Tac-Toe, where the board is the 3-by-3
grid. The popular game of Connect-4 is an example of what we define to be a
"restricted positional game". Here, we introduce another example of a
restricted positional game, Connect-Tac-Toe, which additionally has the
influence of gravity-like restrictions to affect what plays are possible. It is
a generalization of the Connect-4 game for the hypercube. We define a variant
of the Hales-Jewett number for this game as a way to classify its
restrictiveness and provide a logarithmic lower bound for this number.
