## Description
Let's cut to the chase: Linx is that quick and strategic little game that fits in your pocket and your mind. The idea is simple: place your tiles on the board, which grows as the game progresses, but with a twist: you can play a tile face-up or face-down. If you play face-up, you expand your options and draw two more tiles. If you play face-down, things get intense! This face-down tile must 'beat' an opponent's face-up tile, following the good old Rock-Paper-Scissors logic. If you manage this, the opponent's tile gets blocked, and you don't draw new tiles. The goal? Two paths to glory: align three 'front' tiles of your color or three 'back' tiles of your color. Sounds easy, right? But don't be fooled; with every move, you need to consider your options and your opponent's, because one wrong move can cost you the victory. And the best part: there's a team game mode for those who enjoy a strategic partnership! With games that don't even last 20 minutes, Linx is perfect for warming up the group before a bigger game or for killing time without resorting to bland little games. The art is minimalist, and the strategy is surprisingly deep for such a simple game. Get ready to think fast and cover your victory 'fronts'!
