About the game

What you do in a play session

Terxo is like tic-tac-toe that drank an innovation smoothie and turned into a 3D cube! The goal is to build a 3x3x3 cube with pieces that have three unique traits: dice color, symbol, and symbol color. Each turn, you place a piece trying to create alignments of three pieces sharing at least one common trait - horizontally, vertically, diagonally, or even in depth within the cube. The catch? You never know how the cube will grow, since each piece must touch an already placed one. Plus, you choose which piece the next player will use, adding a layer of strategy. In 4-player games, it becomes an alternating team duel. With simple rules but complex decisions, Terxo is pure abstract strategy in portable form - no board, just dice and sharp minds!

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers before you buy

5 questions
How many players can play?
2 to 4. With 4 players, it becomes a team game (players 1 & 3 vs 2 & 4).
How long does a game take?
20-30 minutes - quick enough for multiple matches!
Is it hard to learn?
Rules are simple (align 3 pieces with something in common), but 3D strategy takes practice.
Does it need a board?
Nope! The 'board' is the cube you build with pieces during play.
Does it work well with 2 players?
Yes! The 1v1 version is the most strategic, as you have more control over pieces.
