Abstract
SOS is a game similar to tic-tac-toe. We study a variety of variations of it played on a 1-by- rectangle. On our journey we change the target string to SOO, then study all target strings containing SSS, then go back to finite strings and study SOSO. Then we create a variation with two target strings SSSS-OOOO. We continue with mis\`{e}re games. After that we look at different changes of the board: we wrap the board around, add dimension, and allow it to expand. We end with a variation that came from the ultimate tic-tac-toe.
