PLAYED FOR YOU

 

Träxx

red-yellow-green - five

 

Each player has his own board featuring colored hexagons; one of the hexagons is marked with a dot for the starting point; nine cases are marked with numbers 2-10. Color cases and positions of number cases are identical on all boards, the position of the starting points differs.

15 cards show either four or five color cases. In each round one of the cards is revealed and all players can use the color cases depicted on the card to extend their track on their board, need not use all of the cases or can pass. Each color on the card can be used once in any order. The track should touch as many number cases as possible and can, in one turn, only be extended at one end. The track cannot have caps and also must not touch itself or cross itself, that is, each case on the board can only be entered once. If you are first to incorporate a number into your track you score its full value; players who incorporate this number later in the game only score points equal to half its value, rounded up.

It is also important to connect as many cases as possible, the optimum would be all of them, because cases not connected to your track will cost you points at the end of the game. After 15 rounds you win with the highest score from number value points minus one point for each case that is not incorporated into your track.

In the solitaire version you only score the full value of a number case if you did not previously connect a number of higher value.

Abstract, simple, plays fast and is challenging again and again - it must be possible to connect all cases! And yet again we clean the boards and start a new game with this purpose!
