Ever played 3-D noughts and crosses?, 4-D? 5-D? :-)
you just keep adding boards, like 3d is 3 x 3x3:

xxx xxx xxx
xxx xxx xxx
xxx xxx xxx

4-D is 3 * 3 * 3*3

Oxx xXx xxx
xxx xxx xxx
xxx xxx xxx

xxx xXx xxx
xxx xOx xxx
xxx xxx xxx

xxx xXx xxx
xxx xxx xxx
xxx xxx xxO

where O-O-O and X-X-X are both winning lines.

have fun.
