In Reflexion, two players simultaneously try to recreate patterns shown on cards using two double-sided tiles and their mirror images. The first to form the correct pattern wins the card as a point. The game demands quick pattern recognition and real-time reaction. A solo mode includes extra patterns using four tiles for added challenge.

Reflexion is suitable for players aged 12 and up who enjoy short, fast-paced puzzle games. It's a light strategy game with straightforward rules, perfect for beginners and those looking for a quick 15-minute challenge. No prior experience is required.
How It Works
Each round reveals a pattern card that players must recreate using their two double-sided tiles and their mirrored reflection. Both players work simultaneously to build the pattern. The first to complete it claims the card as a victory point. The core mechanics are Pattern Building, Pattern Recognition, and Tile Placement, with mirror reflection adding a unique twist.
