About the Game

XATS is a game that uses the spare parts generated when cutting the spiked holes of the tiles for the game Stax (Cameron Browne - 2011). Néstor decided to ‘recycle’ these tiles by designing a game for them. XATS is a boardless game where 2 or 3 players create and destroy towers while trying to match the number of tiles on their reserve with the number of spikes of their topmost tiles in play.

XATS is simple enough to be learned quickly, but deep enough to reward the toughest players.

In XATS, Each player has thirteen tiles of the same colour (called Xats), each with a unique arrangement of spikes. There are 3 colours (white, blue and red).

Rules available on the 'web links' section.
