About the game
Numerix is an abstract strategy game, in the same kind of vein as chess, draughts or tafl. There is, however, a certain amount of chance involved in the game. Your pieces will not always be able to move exactly as you want them to. The game requires a certain amount of strategic and tactical skill, combined with an ability to play the odds and to adjust your plans rapidly to a situation that can swiftly change if you don't have the numbers you need. Sometimes the dice will go against you and it becomes a case of simply trying to consolidate your men into a strong enough position to survive, sometimes they will go your way and allow you to do precisely what you want. In short, in this game you must learn to make do with what you have, and work with it to succeed. The game is also particularly suited for variation, using new board layouts, playing with dominoes instead of dice, or many other possible variations. The game is freely available to anyone who wants to play it and you are entirely free to make your own sets. Tied To A Kite Games make wooden sets, which will be released at the UK Games Expo 2009. The rules and board may be downloaded from the publisher's website. (see the publisher's entry (above) for the link.)
