In Attangle, players take turns placing stackable pieces on a 37-cell hexagonal board. The goal is to trap opponent pieces between your own and capture them by moving in a straight line to form stacks of up to three pieces. The first player to create three triple stacks wins. The game challenges you to think tactically about positioning and stacking.
Who Is This Game For?
Attangle is designed for two players aged 8 and up. It is a strategy game with moderate complexity and a playing time of about 45 minutes, suitable for those who enjoy abstract games without heavy rules.
How It Works
Players alternate placing their pieces on empty hex cells. To capture, an opponent’s piece must be trapped between two of your pieces. Capturing happens by moving simultaneously in a straight line over empty cells to land on the trapped piece, creating a stack. Stacks can hold up to three pieces. The first player to form three triple stacks wins.
