Jinxx

On a small board of three by three squares, more happens in Jinxx than you would think. With pyramid-shaped pieces you stack, defend and try to claim the top spot. Whoever controls a row of three through the centre wins. But watch out: lose too many of your own pieces and you are out. Each turn depends on the size of your pyramids and on what you roll with the die. That keeps things exciting and makes you think again about your next move every time. Jinxx is for two to four players and suits almost any evening. Whether you play a relaxed game with the family or get lost in tactics against a keen opponent, the rules are explained in no time. Even so, there is enough depth to keep you coming back. You are done in half an hour, so there is always time for another round. In the box you will find a nice extra: the rules for Hijinks, a game for two players that is just as pleasantly challenging. Already collecting pyramids for Pyramid Arcade? Then this is a welcome addition too, with a rare grey colour included.
