About the game

What you do in a play session

Splitter² builds on the original formula, keeping the core idea of grouping numbers to score points — two 2s, three 3s, and so on — but with extra challenges that add layers of strategy. Now, in addition to always placing two numbers at a time, you'll need to deal with spaces that require ascending sequences to avoid negative points or exact sums to earn bonuses. And there's more: a cooperative variant where you can 'mail' numbers to your teammates! The game is simple: each turn, someone rolls two six-sided dice, and all players write the results in empty spaces, following the mirroring rule. After filling the grid, it's scoring time. Isolated numbers are worth less, while groups without identical neighbors yield more. Starred spaces double your score, and some patterns have extra objectives, like filling hearts with the same number to earn 5 points. The highest score wins!
