Sixto: Locked is an expansion for Sixto released in 2025 for 1–6 players, 15 minutes per game, and ages 8 and up. It was designed by Steffen Benndorf and Florian Benndorf and its main mechanics are Dice Rolling.
When using the Sixto: Locked expansion score pad, you're still trying to mark off as many spaces in a row or column as possible, but each colored row now features three locked spaces — and you can't mark off a space to the right of a lock until the locked space is itself marked off. Don't want to wait forever for the proper numbers to be rolled? On a turn, you can cross off the next locked space in a row if you mark off no other spaces on your score sheet. Will that cost be worth it?
Sixto: Locked supports 1–6 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 listed playing time for Sixto: Locked is 15 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Sixto: Locked for ages 8 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.
