About the game

What you do in a play session

Qwixx Express is the turbocharged version of classic Qwixx, turning it into a frantic two-player race. Each player gets two white dice and one color die (featuring Qwixx's classic colors plus two wild faces). The adrenaline kicks in as everyone rolls simultaneously, re-rolling until someone yells 'Stop!'. Then, players must cross off the sum of their white dice in the row matching their color die — but watch out: if you use a wild face to call 'Stop!', your opponent can steal your result! Whoever didn’t yell 'Stop!' can keep re-rolling, but each extra attempt moves them along the penalty track. The game ends when two rows are locked or someone reaches the end of the penalty track. Pro tip: you can adapt it for 3-4 players if you have a second game box. Perfect for fast decisions and a dash of controlled chaos!
