Traxit 2023

Traxit is an abstract boardgame, where the goal is to be as close to the top as possible at the right moment. The catch is that the opponent to your right decides which of 16 path tiles you must use for your next movement.

Each player has 2 pawns and 16 path tiles. Each of the 16 paths are unique. Your path tiles are given to the player to your right. Players each chose a side on the lower level, and place their pawns freely outside of the corners.

You opponent chooses which path you have to use. You can rotate the path any way you like, giving you up to 8 different moves per pawn for assymetrical paths. After use, the path tile is discarded. You can't move through other pawns, nor outside the board, and if you can't move at all, your opponent takes one of your pawns and moves it to the lowest level. This move is called a Traxit, which is latin for being pulled.

Scoring At the end of every 4 rounds (4, 8, 12 and 16) you score points for the position of your pawns (0, 25, 50 or 100) depending on how close to the top they are.

Bonus A 50 point bonus is added for getting both your pawns to the top at any time.

Variants There is also a short version of the game, where you only play 12 of the 16 path tiles, and a team variant where you team up with the player opposite you, to play against the players to your sides.
