Description provided by the creator on YouTube:

Madelinette is a quick little blocking game about the complexity of Tic-Tac-Toe (Naughts & Crosses). But it has survived for generaitons! Link to this page for more information: https://newventuregames.com/products/madelinette Madelinette goes by other names in other cultures, and some play it without the center space in the straight crossbar. This kit can also be used to play Horseshoe, an ancient Chinese blocking game.

About Madelinette, from BoardGameGeek:

Madelinette is a small, simple game of blockade, probably invented by J & J Loader for their book, Making Board, Peg and Dice Games. There seems to be no reference to this game before the publishing of this book. Two players strive on a board of seven points, each with three pieces, to block in their opponent's pieces so that the opponent cannot move. Information on this game is sparse, as it is overshadowed by the similar-looking three men's morris, for which it is often mistaken. A game board in the Hull and East Riding Museum, in Yorkshire, England, is often mistaken for this game in photographs but would rather seem to be an incomplete three men's morris board, this has been confirmed by the curator.
