Stixx

What to Expect

In Stixx, players secretly pick a color token and aim to collect as many sticks (stixx) of their color as possible while blocking others. On a turn, you can take a stick touching the grey one, reveal your color to collect two sticks, or guess another player's color to gain sticks. Incorrect guesses skip your turn. The game revolves around bluffing and deduction.

Who Is This Game For?

Stixx is suitable for players aged 7 and up who enjoy abstract strategy with bluff elements. It works well as a family game with simple rules and supports 2 to 4 players. The lack of a fixed playtime allows flexible gaming sessions.

How It Works

Each player secretly chooses a color at the start. On your turn, you may take a stick adjacent to the grey stick, reveal your color and take two sticks, or guess an opponent's color. If your guess is correct, you collect two sticks; if wrong, you lose your turn. The goal is to finish with the most sticks of your color.

What Makes It Special

Designed by Odet L'Homer, Stixx blends abstract strategy with a bluffing mechanic centered on hidden colors and risky guesses. Although it has no awards, it offers an intriguing mix of tactics and psychology in a simple format.
