Cirplexed! is a board game released in 2012 for 2–6 players and ages 6 and up. It was designed by Susan McKinley Ross and its main mechanics are Pattern Building.
Game description from the publisher: Cirplexed! is the quick-start game in which strategy comes full circle! Each tile features quarter circles of different colors. Each player creates her own game board by drawing and placing tiles, trying to create the most single-color circles. The game takes visual thinking and 360° of strategy to maximize your score.
Cirplexed! supports 2–6 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The catalogue lists Cirplexed! for ages 6 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Cirplexed! has a complexity rating of 1.5 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
