About the game
What you do in a play session
Trianglos is an abstract strategy game for two players, where each controls black or white stones on a hexagonal board. The goal is to dominate the space by creating clear lines of sight between your stones and forming strategic triangles to capture opponent's pieces. Every move requires careful planning, as you can place new stones or reposition existing ones to create triangles that eliminate weaker enemy stones. The game starts with a balancing rule (pie rule) to ensure fairness, and ends when both players pass consecutively. Whoever has the most stones on the board wins! The line of sight mechanic and hexagonal grid add a unique twist, turning each match into a brainy duel full of twists and turns.
