About the game
Stixx is an abstract strategy/bluffing game, where the main goal is to obtain as many stixx of your own color as possible, while preventing opposing players from doing the same. Each player picks a color token at the beginning and keeps it secret. During a turn, a player can do one of three things 1) obtain a stixx touching the single grey stixx, 2) reveal their color and pick up two stixx, or 3) guess another player's secret color and, if correct, collect two stixx. If the player guesses wrong, she loses her turn. The winner is the person who has the most stixx in their color, with tie breakers going to the player with the most stixx of one other color, and then the player who's secret color was revealed last.
Questions and answers
Stixx supports 2–4 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 Stixx for ages 7 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.
Stixx has a complexity rating of 1.3 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.
