Description

Trax is a classic abstract strategy game that's all about outsmarting your opponent. Designed by David L. Smith and first published in 1980, this game has been challenging players for decades. With its simple rules and short 10-minute playtime, it's easy to jump into a game and start building your strategy. The game is played with square tiles that have straights on one side and curves on the other, and players take turns placing them to create loops and lines. The goal is to create a loop or line of your color while blocking your opponent from doing the same. The forced play rule adds a layer of complexity, requiring players to think carefully about their moves and plan ahead. With its unique blend of network and route building, pattern building, and tile placement mechanics, Trax is a game that will keep you on your toes and coming back for more.
